🩺 Procedure

Placement is quick, usually just a few minutes, but people experience it differently. Some feel mild discomfort, while others have stronger cramping or pain. Most find pain eases after the procedure. Ask about pain control when scheduling so you'll know what's available and what to expect. Please come to the visit with your questions and a summary of your medical history, including the date of your last period. This method will require a physical exam. Please keep in mind that clinic registration and visit processes vary by location.

📅 First Weeks

You might feel some cramping or spotting in the first few days which is normal as your body adjusts. Most people start feeling back to normal within a week or two. Some acne, headaches, or mood changes can happen early on.

🩸 Periods

Expect lighter periods, less predictable periods, or even no bleeding at all over time. Some people have spotting at first, but cramps and flow usually get milder within a few months.

❌ Removal

A provider can take it out anytime and for any reason in just a few minutes. Fertility can return quickly usually within the first few months.
