It’s approved for ten years, but studies say it’s actually effective for 12.
Where ParaGard can make periods worse, a hormonal IUD could help improve painful periods — in fact, Mirena is also FDA-approved for the treatment of heavy menstrual bleeding, or menorrhagia.

And, as always, the F-150 is available with a range of advanced powertrains, allowing them to cross the most rugged terrain to secluded areas where youthful drivers can throw down that tailgate, rip off their jeans and flannel, and screw each other’s brains out while the sky explodes with light.” Levine added that the Super Duty payload-rated at 2,320 pounds, allowing its owner to invite up to 10 passengers to become impregnated in the vehicle at once.
