Iud and uterus bleeding
Posted: 01-23-06 16:56pm

Ok I just quit taking my birth control pills because I have gained way too much weight on them (over 25 lbs!) so I am unprotected now with a fiance that hates condoms so I need to be put on something and quick! Im thinking about getting on the iud but I havnt read much about it. My mom told me a horror story about it saying her friend had one and it tore her uturus and she almost bled to death!!! Scary! Ok give me some advice anyone who has gained alot of weight on bc and found a better solution. Or anyone who has any imput on the iud! Thanx so much!!!

Okay, I have paragard iud and love love love it! The old horror stories are from the old dalkon shield, which was made with defects in the first place. Todays iud's are safer than ever and super effective!! No hormones (paragard is the name), and it is good for 10 years. Please talk to your doc and give it a try!! I promise you will love it.
