Can Mira be used with an IUD?Updated 3 months ago

Yes. Many users choose to track with Mira while an IUD is in place to understand their hormone activity better. Hormonal IUDs do not always suppress ovulation, so even if a woman is amenorrheic, she may still experience ovulatory hormonal fluctuations.

Mira can be helpful both during IUD use and after removal:

• While IUD is in place: Tracking can provide insight into how hormones are functioning, though Mira cannot determine whether the IUD is achieving its intended contraceptive effect. 
• After IUD removal: Mira can monitor whether hormones begin to show coordinated activity and signs of regular ovulation.
• If the patient remembers her typical cycle length before the IUD, that can serve as a starting point in the app. If not, an estimate is acceptable, and settings (LMP and cycle length) can be adjusted once natural cycles resume.
