I've had one for 5 months now.  I'm 26, have one child and no plans to have any more.  I was looking for an alternative to birth control pills.  Initially I was looking into the Essure insert but it was too permanent, I wanted the ability to change my mind if I wanted another kiddo.\n\nGetting the IUD inserted was uncomfortable.  The next few days were torture.  I was afraid I'd rip something if I farted.  My periods were pretty normal but the last two have been bothersome (light but neverending).  Overall I'm pleased with this method.

It's a lot more convienent than taking a pill every day, a lot less painful than getting a shot once a month, and way less noticeable than wearing a patch.\n\nAlso, my doctor said that it's more effective than the pill because the hormones don't need to travel from my mouth to my reproductive system.  Because of this, they don't need to put in as much of the hormone, so it's a lower dose.\n\nIt doesn't get in the way of anything and neither I nor my significant other can feel it.  If your significant other did feel it, though, you can take it out for up to two hours without it losing its effectiveness.\n\nAlso, the ring starts working 2 hours after you put it in.. not after 1 month like the pill.\n\nAfter I was on the pill for several years, I started developing some  gynecological problems- it affected my period and I was getting frequent infections.  My doctor said the risk of that occuring with the NuvaRing is lower.\n\nCheck out the links below for more info!

ok chill, tell him the darn truth, nothing is 100% except no sex, i know you did not plan this, but you have been given a wonderful gift , and if he has trouble with that, dna will prove he is the father, one lie leads to another. i also got pregnant with the iud, the dr. said it may have came out of place, if you have sex to soon after you get one this can happen. or maybe you were with child before you got it? either way that baby is a fighter, take care of yourself and enjoy your baby. GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS.

I had twins on March 10th.  As of 8 weeks after I still hadn't gotten it on  my own. I got an IUD put in on June 2nd and 2 weeks before that dr. gave me a script for Provera to bring on a period. ONLY b/c they want you to have it when IUD is inserted...otherwise they said I could have waited to get it on my own. I was a little worried to and also took a test (even though we were using condoms).  Nurse said it can take up to 4 months to come back even without nursing! SO......that made me feel better. \n\nAfter I had our first child it came back 1 month afer the bleeding from birth stopped so you can imagine I was worried this time around!

Like with every contraceptive method( other than condom but even that you can be allergic too) IUD's have risks. I have one i have had it for 5 years now and i must say that i am perfectly happy with it i had absolutely no problem. I would have to say that i do not recommend having one if you have never had children.\nSide effects can be mood changes, acne, headaches, breast tenderness, pelvic pain, cramping  increased bleeding during menstruation, nausea, it can move around ( that's why  you need to check it every now and then - so that you can prevent other complications.\nDoes it hurt? - it hurts a bit it's not pleasant. \nI am a huge fan of IUD's they are effective against pregnancy  NOT STD's and they don't have the risk of actually killing you unlike the pills, however i do believe that you should have a serious talk with your boyfriend and most of all your doctor before you do this. You want to make sure you can trust your boyfriend's/husband's health.\nThere is an increased risk of pelvic infections especially if you have more than one partner

It's always a good idea to use a backup if you are worried. It really depends on the IUD. If it's the tube with the hormones, usually you are safe, but sometimes not, and until you know how your body will react to the hormones that are involved, I would use backup.

why not? i hope you will get twins if you have sex in near middle of days between a period like after 7 days of period.

Talk to your doctor.  After any procedure involving the vagina or cervix it's usually advisable to wait at least a month before having sex again, to give things time to heal.

Most OB/GYN's have one or two IUD's in their office.  If not, they can get one usually by the next day.  All they have to do is call the Manufacturer's Representative and they will make sure you have one either that day or the next.  At least, that's how it has always worked in the all the offices I have worked in.  Hope this has been helpful to you.

It will be a little unconfortable when they remove your IUD, but it should not be painfull.  It should be about the same as when you had it put in.  You can ask to have a mild sedative to help you relax while they remove it.  That will help your muscles relax and you will not feel as unconfortable as you did when you received the IUD. The removal procedure is the exact opposite of the implant procedure.

It depends on your age but Depo-prevera is good, it entails a shot every 3 months but it's good for forgetful folks. I personally have an IUD and I love it. The Dr. inserts it into your cervics and it lasts for 10 yrs...that's right I said it ten years. I had gotten after having my daughter. It's been the greatest thing I don't even have to worry about it and I don'e have to have the excess hormones of other forms of birth control.

During the first three to six months, you may have irregular and frequent bleeding as your body adjusts to the IUD. After that, your bleeding will most likely become lighter and less frequent. After six months of use, about half of women stop having periods, although light spotting occurs on average about three days per month. After one year of use, 20 percent of women stop having periods altogether.

Well, there's a IUD which is inserted into your cervix by a doctor and which stays there until it is removed, there are diaphragms which you insert into your vagina before sex, there's spermicide you can use inside your vagina before sex (although this is not a really surefire way to prevent pregnancy it does help a little), or you could get the birth control shot or use the birth control patch or even birth control ring.  There's also not having vaginal intercourse.  Don't listen to anyone who responds saying "the rhythm method" or "pulling out" works, because they really  don't at all.  That's all I can think of right now, good luck!

My GYN mentioned to me, that occasionally, 2 in 10 women can feel them during intercourse (or their partner can).\n\nhowever, she also told me that you can rinse it with lukewarm water, and put it back in within 3 hours of removal, if it gets in your way.

I work in family planning and have seen horror show after horror show with Depo.  For some folks, their period goes back to normal right away.  For others, particularly if she's been on the shot for a while, it can take...ready for this?...up to a year.  Getting on a dual hormone method (progetin/estrogen...aka the pill, ring, etc.) may help to get your hormones back on track.  Your doctor might even be able to prescribe a little bit of estrogen.  But really, the best advice is *unfortunately* to wait. :-(
