Is an IUD right for you?

IUD Insertion & removal services at FGAE — Your body. Your choice.

How does an IUD work?

Depending on the type, an IUD either releases hormones that prevent ovulation or uses copper to stop sperm from fertilising an egg. Both types are more than 99% effective at preventing pregnancy. Hormonal IUDs last between 3–5 years, and copper IUDs can last up to 10 years. You can have it removed at any time if you want to become pregnant or switch methods.

Is getting an IUD painful?

You might feel mild cramping during insertion, but the procedure only takes a few minutes. Our clinicians use gentle, professional techniques to make you as comfortable as possible.

Can I get pregnant after removing my IUD?

Yes! Fertility usually returns quickly after IUD removal — many people can conceive within a few weeks or months.

Some mild cramping or spotting is normal for a few days. If you experience severe pain, heavy bleeding, or fever, contact your healthcare provider immediately.
