The hormone, levonorgestrel, that's released into your uterus by Kyleena prevents pregnancy most likely by: Thickening cervical mucus, preventing sperm from entering the uterus. Inhibiting sperm movement so it's more difficult to reach and fertilize an egg.

Kyleena® slowly releases a small amount of hormone, a progestogen called levonorgestrel. As Kyleena® is placed in the womb, it works right where it is needed and only very small amounts of hormone will enter your bloodstream. Ovulation (the release of an egg from the ovaries) usually continues while using Kyleena®.

Most voted positive review I love this little iud! The insertion part wasn't too great, but I was given medication to dilate the cervix beforehand to make the insertion process less painful (wasn't even painful, just awkward and uncomfortable more than anything). Pros: Lightened my periods. Prevents pregnancy.

Kyleena lasts up to 5 years, and eliminates the responsibility of taking a daily pill - that's 1,826 daily pills over 5 years vs 1 Kyleena IUD. Monthly pharmacy trips for birth control refills are a thing of the past! But, you will need to do a thread check once a month to make sure Kyleena is still in place.

The chance of pregnancy is very low while using Kyleena, but it can still happen. Most pregnancies in people using Kyleena happen because the device came out without them realizing it. If you get pregnant while your Kyleena IUD is still in place, contact your provider as soon as you realize that you're pregnant.
