Congratulations! If you've just had a baby or are about to give birth, your life is going through an exciting transition. Motherhood changes everything! That's why it's a good time to reconsider your birth control options.
You're making many important decisions right now that affect you and your family. Like many new moms, you may be struggling with the decision of whether or not to go back to your old method of birth control. You need a type of birth control that's reliable. And freedom from hassle is more important now than ever — with a new baby, you really don't need something else to worry about.
It's important to decide soon because even though your period may not return for some time, you may start to ovulate. This may be a fertile time for you and there is a chance you could become pregnant.

The intrauterine system (ius) has a small plastic frame, which delivers a very small dose of hormone into the cavity of the womb. The advantage is that the effects of the hormone are mainly local (in fact the rest of the body receives the equivalent of about two mini-pills per week). One disadvantage is that there can be irregular, spotty bleeding in the first few months - however, unlike the copper iud, which can make the menstrual periods heavier and longer, the ius will eventually thin down the lining of the womb and most users will have extremely light periods and may have improved period pains.
This does not mean the user has been made menopausal however - the ovaries are still cycling and functioning properly, and when the ius is removed, the womb lining returns quickly to normal, usually within one month, and the user will be just as fertile as she was before it was inserted.
