A member asked:
At what age is it no longer safe to use progesterone-based hormonal iuds like mirena or kyleena?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Age is not a contraindication for IUD as long as you are still menstruating and you still want to avoid pregnancy although the chance of ovulation is low when you get older.
