What happens to your eggs with IUD?
The hormones in the IUD prevent pregnancy in two ways: 1) Hormonal IUDs make the mucus on your cervix thicker. This mucus blocks sperm so it can’t get to an egg. 2) The hormones in the IUD can also stop eggs from leaving your ovaries (called ovulation), which means there’s no egg for a sperm to fertilize.
Can you still ovulate on Mirena?
