Anon - Yes, I've also noticed the discrepancy. Scarletteen provides information that may indicate the reason.
" New research shows that in the first few weeks after insertion of an IUD, women are more susceptible to developing an STI and possible complications from an STI. High risks of sexually transmitted infections do present a real danger, since having a device in your uterus can potentially make any infection more serious and increase the risks of PID. Since younger women (those under 25 or so) are still in the process of cervical cell development, risks of infection and complications from infections (with an IUD or not) are higher no matter what. "
You should be fine, based on the information provided by the manufacturer and the fact that you're not concerned about STIs.
