A member asked:
Is is safe to use a progesterone iud with the pill? or will the iud alone fix my irregular cycles?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Doctors orders : A Progesterone iud is very effective at cycle regulation with up to 50% having no periods at all. If your doctor felt that adding a birth control pill temporarily was needed then you can discuss with the doctor.
