If you have an IUD, did you use a backup for the first month?

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.

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.

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!

You can't decide it considering the birth of your first child. Don't fret, go to a doc and get it checked and all. Movement usually starts around 3 months, but it isnt necessary that you be the same as others.So, pls go to a gynaec.

Bleeding during the first 6 months with an IUD in place is not unusual. However, you are past that point so, I would recommend a visit to your ob/gyn.  You might have to have it totally removed or replaced with a new one.

I had a miscarriage and then a D&C also at 8 weeks, and I was told to wait at least 1 month, and that 3 would be better.  I accidentally got pregnant again the next month and there were no problems at all.\n\nGood luck!\n\nK.

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.

Do follow your packet and/or call your Dr. but in the mean time use another form of birth control for the remainder of the month.

Didn't you use it last month?

The ideal time to have an IUD removed is DURING your period.\nThat is when the majority of gyn doctors will remove it, as your cervix is already open for them to do so.\nI had an IUD removed 2 months ago during a period on the first day it started, once the IUD was removed my period stopped and I did not get it again for 4 weeks.\nYou should be practicing another method of birth control until another IUD is placed if that is your choice~

IUD...nowadays they do not have the same bad rap as they did 20 years ago.  The technology has advanced and they are safe.  My wife has had one for 8 years and I have put it to the test quite often.  No side effects.

Wow!\nI cannot believe the ignorance of even doctors!\nCheck out "VCF" of "Vaginal Contraceptive Film" -- it's a bioadhesive which looks like a thin piece of plastic. Unlike suppositories and other spermicides, it isn't messy. You fold it in quarters and then place it over your cervix- and wait about 15 minutes. I have very sensitive skin, and this is the ONLY spermicide/condom-backup which does NOT irritate me. You can find it at WalMart.\n\nOther than spermicides as back up to the condom, there is also the IUD or intrauterine device (which is as effective or more so than the pill).\nI got the copper T about a year ago, and have been very happy with it. It does make your periods heavier and cramping worse for up to 6 months (depending on how your body reacts to it), but if you consider that it can be kept in and effective for up to 10 YEARS.... For me, it was and has been worth it. \n\nAnyway- I hope this helps. I lost my sex drive completely when I was on the pill, and the link below is to some scientific proof that those hormones can permanently lower your sex drive. Info on the IUD and VCF is easy to find.

I have a Mirena IUD and I love mine!  The first month I got it, I have really bad cramps, but after that, I was fine.  My periods are very light now, I don't have cramps, my periods last 3 days, and best of all, I don't have to worry about becoming pregnant! : )  My Dr. didn't inform me of any serious complication...I haven't had any.  I had my IUD put in Nov. 05.  \nThere's lots of info. on their website. www.mirena.com

I would say make the first GYN appointment after her first period and then see what the doc says from then on.  Kind of like the dentist, when the first tooth comes in, they like to see them.

IUD's are still not recommended for people who've not had children, although there are some "authorities" who say its ok now.  Many (like Mirena) have hormones - similar to the pill - embedded in the plastic, so if you've had clotting disorders, this may not be the best choice.  The alternative is a copper IUD and this can cause a LOT of side effects.\n\nPersonally, I had an IUD inserted when my son was 3.  It was absolute HELL ON EARTH for 5 months - horrifying cramps, severe bleeding, irregular periods, and pain during sex/orgasm.  I eventually had to have it surgically removed because it perforated my uterus.  I cannot in any good conscience recommend it as a form of BC.\n\nIf you're looking for a different method besides condoms, talk to your doctor about Lea's Shield.  Its a barrier method that is inserted into the vaginal canal before intercourse (like a diaphragm) but the efficacy rate is supposed to be better, and it's a one size fits all device, so no fitting is necessary.  Its something to consider....

That's would be Depo-Provera. It's a shot to stop your monthly friend for 3 months. There is some spotting involved. However, after I was on it for 9 months it helped to stop the horrible cramps I was getting. Now that I am no longer on it, I have relief from all the cramps I would get.
