Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on Copper T & Mirena Insertion

  • Copper T (Copper IUD): A non-hormonal intrauterine device (IUD) that prevents pregnancy by releasing copper, which is toxic to sperm.
  • Mirena (Hormonal IUD): A hormonal IUD that releases progestin to thicken cervical mucus, prevent ovulation, and thin the uterine lining to prevent pregnancy.

Both are over 99% effective in preventing pregnancy. Copper T is effective for up to 10 years, while Mirena lasts for 5-7 years.

If you've been trying to conceive for a year (or six months if you're over 35) without success, it may
be time to consider fertility testing. Gynecologists can assess fertility potential through tests like ovarian
reserve testing, hormone analysis, and imaging studies.

A trained doctor inserts the IUD into the uterus using a small applicator. The procedure takes a few minutes and can cause mild cramping but is generally well-tolerated.

  • Copper T: May cause heavier periods, cramps, or spotting.
  • Mirena: Can cause irregular periods, light bleeding, or hormonal side effects like mood changes and breast tenderness.
