IUD

any experiences? im interested in it cause its hormonal free BC and hormones make me nuts so i might look into it?

Hrmm interesting ok ill ask about that too
thanks for answering
didn't get much love on this one

my friend told me about that.....Hrmmm
i thnk men should have to take the BC

that's great! did they give it to you in your arm?
do you still get it with the shot?

i guess - its normal with the amount of hormones that they are giving u - if u go with Mirena (thats the IUD that has hormones that lasts 5 years) it has the same effect - good luck with your choices

I wrote my thesis on birth control ... Knowing what I know I don't take anything. I will not put anything in my body and the side effects of some of the other methods are ridiculous. I would do some research first before you go through with it.

that's why I'm doin my HW on all this stuff

My sis and her boyfriend are both OBGYNs...if you need anything or want to ask some questions, she would be more than willing to talk im sure! She helps my friends out all the time! Right now, im doin the no BC thing...i feel so much better...i was miserable.

ohh that's a great idea maybe i can pick her brain one day!

yeah im having issues too

my mom had one of the old school ones and abused it (i won't tell how you long she waited to get the thing taken out). when i went to my GYN to ask about BC alternatives since the pill had turned me into a crazy person not the least bit interested in sex, i was pretty nervous about sticking something in their, having never had children and not wanting to mess with my chances.

my GYN really went to bat for the IUD, saying they've come a long way and that it's one of the safest, most fool-proof methods.

ETA: i never got the IUD. we are currently using 'the film,' which is just a neat and convenient form of spermacide that's only about 85% effective. what's the worst that could happen? we get pregnant? that's part of the 3 year plan anyway, so we risk it.

When I was on it I had mood swings, weight flux depression ... I have been off it for 5 years and feel amazing. If you feel you have to take something I would talk to Lauren's sister or your OBGYN.
