IUD Question

I stopped getting my period with my IUD (Kyleena)
I have taken a bunch of tests that were negative - I thought they would be as we use condoms and withdrawal with the IUD.

Is this safe and normal? I just don't really think about periods anymore because I don't cramp or spot at all.

Still Spotting

Hello!
I am still finding that I am spotting brown discharge most days of the month with my Kyleena IUD. I have had it almost 9 months. Is this still normal? Or something I should see my doctor about?

Re: IUD

I've never been able to feel my strings. But my fiance can. He has checked for me twice now. He said once it felt more curled around my cervix and again it felt more straight.

IUD and Bowel Movement

Hi,
Would a bowel movement when you had to push a lot cause your iud to move?

Pill and backup

I am on the antibiotic Amoxicillin for a sinus infection. Because I was worried about it effecting my pill the one time I had sex we used a condom and withdrawal. Should I be concerned?

IUD and Condoms

Hi! I am currently on the pill. My fiance and I use the pill and condoms as contraception. I am getting the IUD this week and because we are both clear of STI's and in a monogamous relationship. I want to know if I really still need condoms for pregnancy protection with an IUD (hormonal). Or if it r...

Re: Amoxicillin and Birth Control

Thanks, Al!

I did have sex with a condom 5 days before starting the amoxicillin (I was on my break week) . Does this pose a risk?

IUD

Im considering getting an iud. I've already had one doctor appointment about it. I'm curious to know if you ovulate on an iud? And if you already have ovarian cysts is an iud a bad choice?

Diarrhea

Hi, I know you usually don't answer my questions due to my anxiety around the pill, but I genuinely need guidance. I have 1 bout of diarrhea yesterday 2 hours after taking my pill. It wasn't watery, but it had no shape. Should I have treated it like a missed pill and taken another? If so, should I j...

Cramping

I am at the end of my second week in my current pack of pills. I do experience come very mild cramping near the end of pack lately. Is this normal? Or a bigger concern that things aren't working properly?

Cold Weather and Birth Control

I keep my pills in my purse. Winter has now started and I'm wondering if this is still a good idea? There was two instances this week where I was outside from 10 to 25 mins and the temp was -10 to -12. Are my pills still okay?

Birth control pills outside

Hi,
I was at an outdoor wedding the other day and it was coolish outside. Probably around 10-15 degrees celcius. I had my pills in a zippered pocket in my purse. Would this have decreased their effectiveness at all?
