Frequently Asked Questions
How long does each type of IUD last?
Paragard (copper) is approved for 10 years. Mirena and Liletta are approved for 8 years. Kyleena is approved for 5 years. Skyla is approved for 3 years. Some research suggests effectiveness may extend beyond these approved periods, and guidelines continue to evolve.
When should I schedule IUD replacement?
Schedule replacement 1-2 months before the expiration date to ensure continuous contraception. If you want to switch types or discontinue, the old IUD can be removed and new one inserted in the same visit. Fertility returns quickly after IUD removal.
Can an IUD be removed early?
Yes, an IUD can be removed at any time for any reason. Removal is typically quick and less uncomfortable than insertion. Fertility returns rapidly -- often within one cycle. If you want continuous contraception, have a backup method ready or start a new method immediately.
