How does the Progestogen IUD work? The Progestogen IUD affects the lining of the womb so that the lining does not get thick enough for a pregnancy to implant and grow. It makes the mucus in the cervix thicker so that sperm cannot get through it to travel up into the uterus. In the first year that it is inside the uterus it also stops ovulation in many women who use it.
How effective is the Progestogen IUD? The Progestogen IUD is more than 99 percent effective. So, if 100 women used the Progestogen IUD as their method of contraception for a year, less than one of them would have an unplanned pregnancy. This makes it more effective than the Pill
Why would I want to choose a Progestogen IUD? Like the Copper IUD, the Progestogen IUD may be a good choice for you if you have had a baby and you want to have a space of two or more years between pregnancies. It could also suit you if you have had all the children you want and you want a very reliable method, but you would also like to know that it can be reversed easily if you change your mind. If you’re likely to forget to use contraception, an IUD is a good choice because it is always in place. An IUD is usually easy for most doctors to remove in their surgery.
The thing that is special about the Progestogen IUD is that after die first few months you have less menstrual bleeding than with other types of IUD. This is an advantage for women who want an IUD but who normally have heavy periods, or periods that last a long time. Women who get heavy or long-lasting periods if they use a Copper IUD can often use a Progestogen IUD without any problems.
