Answer 1

Differentiate between the two main types of IUDs. The Mirena is a hormonal IUD. It releases progesterone directly into the uterus to prevent pregnancy and reduce menstrual bleeding and cramping. Some women stop getting their periods all together when using Mirena. The Paragard is non-hormonal. It has a thin copper strand wrapped around the base of the IUD. Copper acts as a natural irritant to the lining of the uterus, thus helping to prevent pregnancy.

IUDs are effective for up to five years (Mirena) or 10 years (Paragard). If a woman desires to get pregnant before this time elapses, she can have the IUD immediately removed with no effect on her fertility.

Consider the risks of an IUD. Cramping and bleeding may occur during insertion or removal. The IUD may embed in the uterine wall or dislodge all together. If a woman gets a vaginal infection with an IUD, this leads to a higher risk of pelvic inflammatory disease, which can lead to infertility. Longer, heavier and more painful periods may result. If a woman gets pregnant with an intact IUD, she risks an ectopic pregnancy. Since Mirena is hormonal, it carries some of the side effects that birth control pills do, such as weight gain, headaches, higher blood pressure, acne, decrease in s*x drive and ovarian cysts. IUDs do not protect against sexually transmitted diseases.

Weigh your health status against using an IUD. You should not get an IUD if you have a pelvic infection, an STD, cancer of the cervix or uterus, unexplained vaginal bleeding, pelvic tuberculosis, an allergy to copper (Paragard), liver disease or breast cancer (Mirena) or are pregnant. Women who have pelvic inflammatory disease, two or more sexually transmitted diseases, impaired fertility, bacterial vaginosis, diabetes, anemia, a tilted uterus, fibroid tumors, HIV/AIDS, blood clot issues or ovarian cancer should think carefully about an IUD, as an IUD can worsen these problems.

Answer 2

That is alot of questions.. Here are the answers i found

RISKS:

   heavier monthly flow, more menstrual cramps,

  There are worse risks here they are just remember these are RARE, the IUD could move from implantation spot, IUD can fall out, Tubal infection, (ie, if you have an STD it can be pushed in to your tubes), and pregnancy if anything shifts.

An IUD can prevent pregnancy for UP to 12 years. Some women even stop menstrating while having the IUD in. I also found that most women return to normal cycles within a month of having the IUD removed and can easily get pregnant with no other complications.

Your physician can only answer when he/she would need to check it. Its up to them and controlled also by your wants, needs, and if it were to fall out ( occurs usually when you pee)

Hopes this helps!
