Conception Choice

I checked some info regarding the conception for Lena and wish to share with whom are interest to read..



Copper-containing IUD: 99.5 percent effective
This IUD is effective for a remarkable 10 years after insertion. It often leads to heavier periods than before and additional or more severe cramps, but the majority of users have normal cycles on the IUD and often are thrilled with the "no muss, no fuss" aspects of its use.


The progestin IUS: 99+% percent effective
This IUD is impregnated (if you'll pardon the term) a type of female hormone used in many contraceptives. The system releases a small amount of the progestin into the uterus, rendering it inhospitable for sperm and egg alike. The Mirena lasts for five years, making it slightly more expensive overall than its copper-containing cousin. However, because of progestin's localized effects on the uterine lining, most women using the Progestasert have lighter, pain-free periods, and many lose their periods altogether.
