The Paraguard and Mirena IUD are excellent methods for longterm birth control. The IUD is convenient and VERY low maintenance. Once in, you don’t even know you have one. Have sex whenever you want and you won’t get pregnant. This method is ideal for a couple who want to postpone pregnancy for a few years. It is completely reversible. Once you decide to get pregnant, you come into the office and I remove it. It literally takes about 2 seconds to remove.

The Mirena offers an additional advantage of making your periods extremely light or non-existent. This is especially helpful for women in there late 30’s or early 40’s who are already experiencing heavier cycles. This is the only FDA approved device that is a treatment option for heavy periods (in addition to birth control). The IUD is covered by most insurance plans. The company also offers a monthly payment plan for patients who want to pay cash.
