LILETTA  (LEVONORGESTREL):  This product is a small, flexible device that is placed in the womb (uterus) to prevent pregnancy. It is used by women who want to use a reversible birth control method that works for a long time (up to 4 years). The device slowly releases a hormone (levonorgestrel) that is similar to a hormone that women normally make. This device helps prevent pregnancy by making cervical fluid thicker, interfering with sperm movement, and reducing sperm survival to prevent sperm from reaching an egg (fertilization). It also changes the lining of the uterus (womb) to prevent attachment of a fertilized egg. If a fertilized egg does not attach to the uterus, it passes out of the body. This device may also stop the release of an egg from your ovary (ovulation), but this is not the way it works in most women. Using this product does not protect you or your partner against sexually transmitted diseases (such as HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia).   FDA Approval Date: 2015-02-26 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 1  To reduce heavy periods I have just about all of them Bleeding all the time not just during a period High blood pressure started a month after insertions. 2 months after inserting started with severe chest pain . Immediately after insertion stomach felt very full now when I eat my stomach gets hard and painful. Not able to loose weight. Hair falling out. Anxiety I have never had before the iud. Mood swings. Head aches. Getting it out in 2 weeks and now I hear I will have to go through the iud crash. Oh good more side effects. Worst decision for me personally to get the iud should have just got the ablation 8 months ago I went with this under my doctors advice. Sadly it did not work for me at all I have 90 percent of the side effects F 48 9 months

 3  Heavy periods and birth control after about 1.5 years I started getting yeast infections right around when my cycle would start. Took diflucan so much that now it doesn't work for me. Going to get it removed today! the insertion hurt so so bad but I immediately stopped bleeding and no spotting the whole time I had the iud. I did get some pretty bad cramps associated with my cycle and breast tenderness as well. It was amazing up until the yeast infections started. F 33 2 years

 1  To stop heavy menstrual cycles After a brief couple weeks of bleeding after first having the liletta inserted my periods got much lighter and cramping was minimal. It seems to work great! After having liletta in for 1 1/2 years I am now experiencing abnormal bleeding and have been bleeding for a MONTH! Waiting to get tests back from GYN but I’m considering going to the ER to have it removed. After the 1 1/2 ur mark I should not be experiencing this abnormal bleeding. I’ve been bleeding for a month now. GYN is still trying to figure out why F 44 1 years
