Steph & Laura · An explainer on different contraception - with Dr Jacqueline Coombe · 16 Jun 2026 podcast

The pain kind of sucked, but it's a great method.

It's been great.

It lasts for a long time.

Most women who use the Mirena ID say,

won't have a period or if they do, it'll be very light.

They're super effective at preventing pregnancy.

There's lots of really good things about them.

And I think the insertion procedure scares people off, understandably.

Yeah.

But there are things that you can do to find your ways around that.

So finding a clinician who does them regularly helps.

Finding a clinician who has the pain relief options that you're interested in all help with reducing that pain threshold.

Yeah, so the copper IUD is non-hormonal, so it's just got some copper around it and that is its mechanism of action, so how it prevents pregnancy, while the marina and the kylena are both hormonal-based, so they have synthetic hormones in them.

I guess the main difference is the copper IUD, so it's non-hormonal.

They're all kind of super effective, more than 99% effective at preventing pregnancy.

The Mirena and the Kylena to a slightly lesser extent because it has a lighter hormone in it will reduce your period.

The copper IUD will increase it.

Okay.

So around 50% – no, it's most women who use a copper IUD will experience a period that is 50% heavier –

Mm-hmm.
