About IUD Insertion
An intrauterine device (IUD) is one of the most effective and convenient forms of birth control available. At Garden OB/GYN, our experienced providers offer both hormonal and copper IUD options, providing up to 3-12 years of reliable pregnancy prevention with a single, quick procedure. IUDs are reversible — when you're ready to conceive, your fertility returns quickly after removal.
What to Expect
IUD insertion is a brief office procedure that takes just a few minutes. Your provider will discuss which type of IUD is best for you — hormonal options like Mirena, Kyleena, or Skyla, or the non-hormonal copper Paragard. During insertion, you may feel cramping similar to menstrual cramps. Most women return to normal activities the same day. A follow-up visit is scheduled 4-6 weeks later to confirm proper placement.
Who Is It For
Women looking for highly effective, low-maintenance, long-term birth control. IUDs are suitable for women of all ages, including those who have never been pregnant. Hormonal IUDs are also used to treat heavy periods and endometriosis.

IUD Insertion — Common Questions
Does IUD insertion hurt?
You may experience moderate cramping during and shortly after insertion. We can discuss pain management options to help you stay comfortable.
How long does an IUD last?
Depending on the type, IUDs last 3-12 years. Hormonal IUDs (Mirena, Liletta) last 6-8 years, while the copper Paragard lasts up to 12 years.
Can I get an IUD if I've never had children?
Absolutely. IUDs are safe and effective for women who have never been pregnant.
What if I want to get pregnant later?
Your provider can remove the IUD at any time in a quick office visit, and your fertility typically returns within one menstrual cycle.
