IUDs

IUDs Types

As a woman, it is always wise to discuss your family planning options with your husband or partner. 

Family planning discussion will give you an idea about where you both stand on having kids. 

Moreover, if in this discussion you decide not to have kids for a few years, you can explore your birth control options. 

One of the most popular birth control options that women choose is Intra-Uterine devices (IUDs). This is the most effective birth control option that will last for about 12 years. 

But there is a major myth associated with IUDs. Some women think if they get IUDs, they will be choosing IUD for abortion

But the truth is far from that. IUDs do not prevent pregnancy by causing abortion.  

Instead, they prevent the pregnancy by either killing the sperms that enter the uterus or prevent the egg release from the ovary. This reduces the chances of fertilization to minuscule levels.

So, no fertilization, no pregnancy!

Now that we have got this myth busted, let us tell you about the two categories of IUDs you can choose from.

  • Non-Hormonal IUDs: In this category, a plastic T-shaped structure is wrapped with copper around it, hence copper IUDs.

Sperms hate copper because it changes the way they can swim thus preventing its meet with the egg. No fertilization, no pregnancy! 

  • Hormonal IUDs: In this category, a plastic T-shaped structure releases the hormone progestin in your body. 

Progestin is very much like natural progesterone released in your body. Hormonal IUDs prevent pregnancy in two ways.

These IUDs make the mucus of your cervix thicker making the entry of sperms difficult. Or else, they prevent the release of the egg from the ovary. 

Again, no fertilization, no pregnancy!

How to Prepare for Your Abortion Appointment? – A Simple Guide

So, you are pregnant but instead of being happy, you feel stressed. Trust us you are not alone! Moreover, you don’t have to feel guilty for not wanting the pregnancy. 

Always remember it is your body, your choice. 

Once you have decided to abort the pregnancy, it is time to visit a women’s abortion clinic. We will tell you about your options for aborting the unintended pregnancy and how to prepare for your abortion appointment.

Based on the duration of your pregnancy and your health condition, we will suggest a treatment plan. 

You will undergo either a medical abortion or surgical abortion. Now, of course, when you are with one of our experts at the clinic, you will be equipped with all the necessary information about your treatment. 

In addition to that, we also want you to know how you should prepare for your abortion appointment if you choose to go through the procedure. 

Here are a few important points to note. 

  • Plan Your Travel: Yes, this is important. After the medical or surgical abortion, you will not be able to drive yourself back from the clinic. Hence, please make sure to arrange your travel in advance. If you are visiting us from another city, we suggest you stay overnight and travel the next day.
  • Bring a Companion: It is strongly recommended to bring a companion with you. Whether it is a friend or family member, a companion can help take care of your things while you are in the treatment. If you are under 16, an adult (18+) must accompany you. 
  • Essentials to Bring: Make sure to bring your medications, an extra pair of underwear, and sanitary pads (for heavy flow).
