• If you have the Skyla® or Kyleena®, tell your doctor before you have an MRI test.
• Your doctor will check your progress and the effects of this medicine at regular visits. Keep all appointments.
• This IUD will not protect you from HIV/AIDS or other sexually transmitted diseases.
• Tell your doctor if you have had any problems, infections, or other conditions that affected your reproductive system. There are many problems that could make an IUD a bad choice for you, including if you have fibroids, unexplained bleeding, a uterus that has an unusual shape, a recent infection, a history of pelvic inflammatory disease, an abnormal Pap test, ectopic pregnancy, cancer or suspected cancer, or an existing IUD.
• Tell your doctor if you are breastfeeding, or if you had a baby, miscarriage, or abortion in the past 3 months. Tell your doctor if you have liver disease (including tumor or cancer), heart disease, breast cancer, heart or blood circulation problems (including a slow heartbeat), migraine, high blood pressure, seizures, or a history of fainting, heart valve problems, blood clotting problems, stroke, or heart attack. Tell your doctor if you have problems with your immune system or have had surgery on your female organs (especially fallopian tubes).
• There is a small chance that you could get pregnant when using an IUD, just as there is with any birth control. If you get pregnant, your doctor may remove your IUD to lower the risk of miscarriage or other problems.
• This medicine may cause the following problems:Increased risk of ectopic pregnancy (pregnancy outside the uterus)Increased risk of serious infections, including sepsisIncreased risk of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) or endometritisPerforation (hole in the wall of your uterus), which can damage other organsIncreased risk for ovarian cystsIncreased risk of cancer of the breast, uterus, or cervixIncreased risk of high blood pressure, stroke, heart attack, or clotting problemsJaundice (yellow skin or eyes)
• You might have some spotting and cramping during the first weeks after the IUD has been inserted. These symptoms should decrease or go away within a few weeks up to 6 months.
• You could have less bleeding or even stop having periods by the end of the first year. Call your doctor if you have a change from your regular bleeding pattern after you have had your IUD for awhile, including more bleeding or if you miss a period (and you were having periods even with your IUD).
• An IUD can slip partly or all the way out of your uterus. If this happens, use condoms or another form of birth control, and call your doctor right away.
