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.
