Hormonal (Levonorgestrel) Intrauterine Devices (IUDs)

A hormonal intrauterine device (IUD) is a small device made of flexible plastic with a hormone called levonorgestrel. The hormone changes the lining of your uterus to stop sperm from reaching the egg. This pamphlet explains how it works, how well it works, pros and cons, what will happen when the IUD is inserted, what happens after, movement or loss of the IUD, and removal.
