Hormonal intrauterine devices do not cause an increase in the concentration of progesterone in the blood. In some women using this method of contraception, a decrease in the level of progesterone in the blood is observed, resulting from the inhibition of progesterone secretion as a result of the release of levonorgestrel from the intrauterine system - a compound classified as progestins, i.e. hormones that mimic the action of the natural female hormone - progesterone.
