IUD use ?! Posted: 05-10-08 06:32am


I've decided I to try a different form of birth control other then the pill. I've been on numerous brands and everything I've tried makes me bleed.. alot.. even when I'm not supposed to be on my period. Anyway. I'd like to try IUD, provided my doctor says it's okay. Are any of you using it? Can anyone give me an idea of what it's like? Thanks

I have had an iud for almost two yrs. The mirena. It suppose to make you stop bleeding but i had a period every month. Everyone's body is different. I loved it other than that. But don't not get it because i didnt stop bleeding. They're lots of people who quit bleeding too.

NOT all women quit bleeding... ONLY 20% of women will lose their periods.... I am a womens health professional. I LOVE IUD'S, they are effective methods, and I use a copper IUD. LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT.

I have been on Mirena for almost 2 years now. For me, the insertion and months after insertion was the worst part. Insertion hurt. It felt like severe cramps for a few days-kind of like my contractions when I was in labor. Then I bled for 7 months straight. Now, I only bleed occasionally, once a month for like 2 days. I think they are a great option for carefree birth control. Hope you are successful with this choice. If not, you can always have it removed.
