IUD
Checking you IUD is still in place
A IUD will only protect you from unwanted pregnancies if it is properly in place. The first few months are the most likely time it will be expelled from the body, in addition to this your monthly period also creates a risk of movement. For these reasons, it is advised after every menstrual cycle you check it is in place.
IUD Contraceptive
An Intrauterine device known as IUD for short, the IUD contraceptive is used to protect a woman from unwanted pregnancies. The IUD contraceptive is a small device usually made from copper and plastic. The IUD contraceptive will be placed into the uterus (womb), it used to be referred to as the coil or loop. The IUD is reversible but an excellent long term option of birth control. As always with most contraception it will protect against pregnancy but not against STD’s.
