A member asked:
I took progesterone pills and they gave me horrible uterine cramping and pain. my doctor wants to give me the mirena (levonorgestrel) iud. won't it do the same thing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly so: The mirena IUD contains levonorgestrel, a progestin. If it was truly progesterone pills that caused cramping and pain, the Mirena IUD may not be a good choice.
