How Does an IUD Work?
Both the copper and hormonal types of IUDs work by making it difficult for s***m to reach your egg.
ParaGard causes an inflammatory response in the lining of your uterus. This inflammation is toxic to s***m. It also makes your uterus hostile to implantation, if fertilization occurs.
But recent studies have failed to find evidence that fertilization ever occurs. ParaGard works for up to 10 years after insertion.
Mirena works to thin the lining of your uterus to prevent the transport of s***m into your fallopian tubes where fertilization must occur. The progestin it releases also thickens your cervical mucus and can prevent ovulation.
Mirena can last for up to five years after insertion. Skyla and Liletta are smaller and contain a lower dose of progestin. They both thin your uterus lining and can last up to three years.
