Hi,

dacholstar, I read somewhere that you can have an mirena IUD when breastfeeding as the progesterone is only localised in the uterus and does not affect the rest of your body.

Does any one know, If having an IUD in will be affected if I was to undergo surgery? Do I have to tell the surgeon I have an IUD? I have to have an operation of my sinuses and I don't know if the anaesetic will affect the IUD?
