    Got one in 1979. Blew a .08. Big fine. Legal fees. Insurance went up. Not worth it at all.

    I wish there was a way to unclick and unread what I just read.

    Mine went in super easy, but the problems after were constant. My dr. begged me to keep it in for a year to regulate my body. At eleven months I went to a new dr and took it out. I am so glad I did!!! I reacted badly with infections, cramping, all kinds of problems. But when it is removed they don't tell you that you have heavy bleeding. I mean "heavy" like in post child birth bleeding and clotting. I almost went into the ER. I found out some women have had to have blood transfussions after having it removed. Just google heavy bleeding and clotting after removal and there is thousands of stories!

    I agree 110% with the nuva ring! I got the mirena after my daughter and had no pain but i couldn't lose weight and I was moody like none-other! I switched back to the nuvaring and LOVE IT!!!

    Well, i cant do the nuva ring. the damn thing wrapped itself around my cervix and would not let go!! every step i took tugged on it. The shot makes me bleed to death and the pill i forget and my cholesterol is high so i cant have estrogen. and im allergic to latex and spermicide. i cant do a diaphram cuz im allergic to spermicide and cant have a foreign body in my hoohoo cuz it hurts so bad. so i feel like the IUD is the only choice, but im pretty sure my body is going to cramp like crazy. when im pregnant my body cramps really bad. its very hard to keep my babies in me long enough for a live birth. im usually dialated to 6 or so by 20 wks and then on bedrest. so im like, well what is the difference between a plastic pain bomb, and a baby?? nothing, as far as my body is concerned. im afraid it will just cramp like crazy. thanks for all the info. im thinking im not going to go this route...

    I have the Mirena, didn't really hurt during insertion. After spotting for about 7 weeks, I haven't had a period in over 2 years...it's awesome!

    My doctor suggested I get one but stated that it might be quite painful as I've never had children before. But she offered to prescribe me a valium for the procedure. No thanks...that was good enough for me to say no...even to the valium. I don't do pain voluntarily.

    Never had one, but you just deterred me from ever getting one. I should though, I'm always scared I'm pregnant even though we use stuff.

    Though, I do like to call it my "Intrauterine Switchblade" or my "d*ck sticker" to my hubs. 859.png

    That's why we love you Miss O & A!!

    But on a serious note - IMHO any non-bio-identical hormones are AWFUL and IUD's can be dangerous as well. If you're married - have him get snipped. Best thing I ever did. (Well, the dr. did it, not me, even though I offered to save us money...)

    After going thru childbirth twice, it only seemed fair to me (in terms of pain lol) that hubby get snipped as our form of BC. :tongue: best decision ever.

    If we get him snipped, we cant have anymore babies. he wants onemore, i want less than what we have.

    I have one. I have a paragaurd--a non hormonal IUD, last for 10 yrs. yes, getting it put in was very painful and the pain continued a few day afterwards. But I like it (so far). It's been a yr now with no complication.

    Please - For yourself - Get on some form of birth control - It's much easier than stressing yourself out each month. . . Or dealing with a potential pregnancy.

    Nope. I always get a designated driver.

    When life hands you melons, you might be dyslexic.


    ^^^ LMAO

    I was using Nuva Ring and lo and behold, I have a soon-to-be 5 month old baby, after I gave birth I decided on an IUD, it didn't hurt at all, but then again my cervix was still open, doctors do say that it really hurts when your cervix is closed, some people actually pass out from the pain.

    I chose the Paragard which is hormones free and doesn't alter a woman's natural menstrual cycle.
    Mirena has hormones, some woman might stop having their period altogether.

    4 months and counting, I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT, but then again, not everyone is the same!
