When is the best time to get a ring?

IUD insertion is a contraceptive method commonly used by women in my country. There are many women in my country who use IUDs now, but most of them do not know much about the time of IUD insertion. However, the time of IUD insertion is very, very important for those who have IUD insertion. Here are some important times for IUD insertion.

1. Place it when menstruation has not yet ended. It should be placed on the 3rd to 5th day of menstruation. There are three advantages during this period: first, the cervix is ​​loose and easy to insert. Secondly, since menstruation has just arrived, pregnancy can be ruled out and the ring will not be mistakenly placed in a pregnant uterus. Third, it avoids the concerns and inconveniences caused to women by the small amount of bleeding after the IUD is inserted.

2. Place it after menstruation is over. It is best to have the IUD inserted 3-7 days after the menstruation ends and when there is no sexual history, because at this time the endometrium is just beginning to grow and is thinner, so bleeding can be avoided during insertion. At the same time, not having sexual intercourse after menstruation also avoids the possibility that the fertilized egg has grown on the endometrium when the IUD is inserted. Generally, most women choose to have the IUD inserted at this time.

3. Insert the IUD immediately after artificial abortion or forceps curettage. The advantage is that contraceptive measures can be implemented in one operation, which reduces pain and is more convenient for women.

4. The IUD is inserted after normal menstruation resumes after a spontaneous abortion or artificial abortion with curettage.

5. If the caesarean section is performed or the operation is performed more than six months ago and the situation is normal, can IUD be considered for placement?

6. It can be used for emergency contraception if inserted within 5 days after unprotected sex.

7. Insert the IUD immediately after delivery. At this time, the insertion operation is simple and easy, and contraceptive measures can be implemented in time, but it must be inserted after examination and approval by an obstetrician.

8. Place it 42 days after delivery. That is, it should be placed during a health check around 42 days after delivery. The advantages of placing it at this time are: first, the cervix is ​​loose. Second, the uterus has returned to its normal size and has not shrunk due to breastfeeding for too long. Third, timely implementation of contraceptive measures is convenient for women and can avoid the occurrence of hidden pregnancy.

9. The IUD can be inserted more than three months after delivery. However, it should be noted that if this time is the breastfeeding period, although there is no menstruation, there is still a possibility of pregnancy, which is what people usually call hidden pregnancy. Therefore, women who have not had menstruation after delivery should first ask a doctor to check whether they are pregnant. The IUD can only be inserted after it is confirmed that they are not pregnant.

10. If the service life of the previously placed ring has expired and you need to replace it, you can insert a new ring at the same time as removing it. You can also insert a new ring after your next menstrual period is over. But you must remember to use contraception during the month after removing the IUD.

The above is the best time to have an IUD inserted. I hope it will be helpful to women. Here we would like to remind all women that it is best to go to a regular hospital for IUD insertion. Contraception is not a trivial matter and it concerns everyone's health and fertility. This can avoid unnecessary trouble.
