The intrauterine device (IUD) is a long-term birth control method. Unlike IUDs that were used in the 1970s, present-day IUDs are small, safe, and highly effective.
Mirena is a soft, flexible IUD that releases small amounts of hormone locally into your uterus. It gives you birth control you can count on-that lasts as long as you want, for up to 5 years.
- Mirena is more than 99% effective at preventing pregnancy
- You can try to become pregnant as soon as Mirena is removed. Within a year of having Mirena removed, about 8 out of 10 women succeed at becoming pregnant
- If you have a pelvic infection, get infections easily or have certain cancers, Mirena is not right for you
- Mirena is also proven to reduce heavy periods in women who choose intrauterine contraception
