Contraceptive consultation

Every woman is unique. During a contraceptive consultation, we discuss your wishes and go through various contraceptive methods with you. Of course we take your medical history into account. Do you opt for a hormone or copper IUD? Then you can also have it installed with us. We prescribe the drug digitally and you will receive a payment link by e-mail and/or text message. Once payment has been made, the IUD will be ready for you to install within a few days.

If you are not known to one of our midwives or if you have not yet been pregnant, we will discuss everything during a separate contraceptive consultation. This conversation takes about half an hour.

IUD with hormones

The hormonal IUD gradually releases a small amount of hormones and causes the mucus in the cervix to become ‘tougher’, making it more difficult for sperm to pass through. Due to the release of the hormone levonorgestrel in the uterus, the sperm cells become less mobile; this reduces the chance of fertilization. Due to the release of the hormone and because the IUD is a ‘foreign object’ in the uterus, the endometrium is not or hardly built up. As a result, a possibly fertilized egg cannot implant. Finally, ovulation is suppressed in some women. If no egg is released, fertilization cannot take place.

Side effects that can occur most often with the hormone IUD are more or less blood loss during menstruation, intermittent blood loss or absence of menstruation. In addition, headache, abdominal pain and back pain are also common, as are vaginal discharge and inflammation of the labia or vagina. Consult the package insert for Mirena or Kyleena for an overview of the side effects.
