Has anyone worn their IUD longer than recommended? Know that I’m long overdue, but haven’t replaced yet.

I asked the gyno about this when I got mine inserted and she said the IUD’s effectiveness starts dropping once it reaches its “expiration” date. I didn’t ask further and she didn’t say it’s specifically harmful, but it definitely becomes less effective as birth control. She mentioned the removal is simple and can be done by a number of medical professionals (gyno, family doctor, nurse practitioner, etc.). So still something to address asap but I guess it depends on what you use it for and to what degree you depend on the IUD as contraception.

I have a Mirena and the original recommendation was 5 years but they recently changed it to 7, no change in formula. They just found it worked longer than they anticipated.

Yes, I saw it had been approved in Europe for 7 and trust EU regulations so left it in. I'm having it removed next week 7 tears and 2 months after I had it inserted. No problems, no babies.

I had Paraguard inserted in 2010. When I had it done, they told me 8 years. I brought it up with my doc last year, she said they now found out is effective longer, at least 10 years and even up to 12. I hate the insertion process, so would keep it as long as possible.

Hello everyone.

This is a thank you post.

This platform has helped me in a way to get more than a 100% hike.

I am working as a Data Scientist with 5.6 yrs of experience in DS/ML.

My current CTC was 12.6 LPA and after switch, I got 32.2 LPA (30 fixed).

So I would like to thank everyone who posts comments and share their experiences. This helps a lot to understand the current market scenario and whether they are underpaid or not.

PS: Attaching my CTC
