Important Warnings
- Do not use Jaydess if you are pregnant, have current or recurrent pelvic inflammation, cervical cell changes, or cancer. Also avoid use if you have unexplained vaginal bleeding, certain uterine abnormalities, severe liver disease, or allergies to any components of Jaydess.
- Contact your doctor immediately if you experience severe pain (like menstrual cramps) or heavy bleeding after insertion, or if pain/bleeding lasts longer than a few weeks, as this could indicate an infection, uterine perforation, or incorrect placement.
- If you cannot feel the threads of the IUD, or you or your partner feel the lower part of the Jaydess, or your partner feels the removal threads during sex, it might have moved or been expelled. If you suspect you are pregnant, take a pregnancy test and contact your doctor.
- Report any continuous abdominal pain, fever, or unusual vaginal discharge, as these can be signs of an infection that needs immediate treatment.
- If your menstrual bleeding suddenly changes (e.g., from light or absent to heavy, or with continuous bleeding or pain), contact your doctor, as this may indicate the IUD is not in the correct position or has been expelled.
