IUD???

Post a new topicby lynn77 on Tue Jul 31, 2007 2:16 pm


My husband and I have 2 children and we are pretty sure that we are don't want to have anymore. Fed up with condoms and the pill, my midwife suggested an IUD. I'm not so sure I am comfortable with the idea. Has anyone had any experience? (I'd love to hear both positive and negative) Thanks :)

Although I've had a ParaGard for 6 years and have not had a problem with it, I have a friend using and IUD who had an ectopic pregnancy.

I've had a ParaGard for about 9 years and recommend it without reservation. I've tried pills, NorPlant, Depo, condoms, a cap, the patch, and a diaphragm. By comparison, my IUD is more healthy and/or hassle-free than any of them.
