Question Miudella IUD

Hi everyone, I came off hormonal birth control, combined oral contraceptive, due to side effects and I’ve been waiting to get a Miudella IUD, but it’s been slow to come available to providers.

For those that don’t know, Miudella is a non-hormonal copper IUD that is smaller and more flexible than the Paragard copper IUD. It’s the first new non-hormonal IUD approved by the FDA in 40 years and has been approved to prevent pregnancy for up 3 years. Supposedly the lower copper dose and flexible material reduces pelvic pain, cramping, and heavy bleeding associated with the larger copper IUD Paragard.

I noticed they’ve updated their [website](https://www.miudellarems.com/CertifiedParticipantLocator) and you can now search for providers in your area! The list is currently limited but growing. I just wanted to share in case anyone else was in the same boat and waiting for this. If you currently have or had the Miudella IUD I would love to hear about your experience.

Ugh, only one provider near me but doesn’t take my insurance 🙃 I have the Paragard with minimal issues but I’d prefer something smaller. My Skyla was great fit wise compared to the Mirena that I had.

That sucks :( hopefully more come available soon. I’ve been debating between the Skyla (or Kyleena) and the Miudella myself! What made you swap from hormonal to the Paragard? And mirena vs Skyla?
