The ParaGard IUD is shaped like the capital T with the strings dangling from the bottom leg of the T.
The Mirena IUD is shaped similarly but the limbs are slightly bent like an anchor.
The strings dangle from the bottom leg.

∙ 15y agoAn IUD is this little piece of plastic that looks like an upside down anchor. You go to your doctor and they insert it into your uterus. It block your tubes, thus blocks sperm from getting to your ovaries. For more information I suggest going to:

An IUD string feels like fishing line.
If you are breast feeding and have and IUD in place can you become pregnant?
Very very very very unlikely. Purely down to the IUD. With an IUD, protection is something like 99.99999999%.
How painful to remove a 10 year IUD?
The sensation of IUD removal is a lot like that for IUD insertion, but much briefer. Instead of inserting both the sound (measurer) and insertor for the insertion, there's a single cramp as the IUD is removed.
What is the differnec between a copper IUD and a multi load IUD?
A Multiload IUD is a copper IUD.
What IUD's are copper IUD's?
The ParaGard IUD is T shaped and it contains copper.
Can get trichomoniasis with iud?
You can get trichomoniasis regardless of whether you have an IUD. The IUD does not cause or prevent trich.
Can an IUD cut your penis?
It is highly unlikely. An IUD is implanted in the uterus and the penis cannot penetrate that organ. The thread-like implant cords are imperceptible to the partners.
You started the pill right after you had your IUD removed could you get pregnant?
You could get pregnant if you had unprotected sex in the five days before you had the IUD removed (if it was a hormonal IUD like Liletta, Mirena, or Skyla) or in the first seven days of taking the pill.
How long can an IUD stay in place?
A woman should keep an IUD in place until she wants to conceive, until the hormonal IUD reaches the end of its useful life, or indefinitely if she is not concerned about the IUD's effectiveness.
Does an IUD need to be removed right away once it expires?
If you leave the copper IUD in too long, there are no potential health problems. If you leave a hormonal IUD like Mirena in too long, you may not be protected against pregnancy, but there are no other risks.
Is the IUD sup-post to feeling like a poking burning pain?
No, the IUD should not cause a poking, burning pain. If you are having this kind of pain, avoid sex or use a backup method of birth control until you can confirm that the IUD is in place.
Can you get an infection after iud falls out?
You can get an infection with or without the IUD. Expulsion of an IUD doesn't increase the risk of infection.
