IUD / Mirena / Implanon (link to the fact sheet on our files)

An intrauterine device (IUD) is a type of contraception (birth control). IUDs are small devices that are placed inside your uterus (womb) to prevent pregnancy.

Implanon is a contraceptive implant that is a plastic rod that is inserted under the skin of the inner, upper arm to stop pregnancy by slowly releasing progestogen.
