Inserting an IUD. Timing. An IUD can be safely inserted at any time during the menstrual cycle. Traditionally, clinicians have been taught to insert an IUD during menses because the patient was very unlikely to be pregnant and because they have been told that the cervix dilates during menstrual flow, allowing easier introduction of the IUD. No literature exists proving cervical dilation occurs with menses.
Kyleena features the same Bayer Inserter as other Bayer IUDs. If you've placed a Bayer IUD before, the insertion steps are the same for Kyleena. Review the preparatory steps to ensure that the patient is appropriate for Kyleena. Follow the insertion instructions exactly as described in order to ensure proper placement and avoid premature release of the IUD from the inserter.
