Thinking on birth control.. heard of "DIU" or something like that the doctor places it inside you (down there)

Question

Anyone heard of it before is it effective...whats it look like..is it uncomfortable? personal experience plz

no...im talking about "mirena" not the cooper ones

Answer 1

It's an IUd and I have one. It has been very effective. I have 2 children. One was concieved on the patch and the other was concieved on the nuva ring. My kids are also only 51 weeks aprt. I have a high fertility rate so my doctor recomended the mirena (hormonal IUD) for me. My youngest child is 15 months and I'm not pregnant. It's shaped like a T. It's uncomfortable when the doctor first inserts it or when you go to get it taken out but thats it. It is recomended for a woman that is in a monogomous relationship, doesn't have any STDs, and has already had at least 1 child.

Answer 2

Diu Birth Control

Answer 3

IUD's are still in use. But there use is a rarity these days. There are many other more effect and much safer methods of birth control. Do some research on the web. Then discuss options with your doctor. Of course there is the old standard "rubbers" which can be procured without a perscription, protests from STD's and do not cause health problems (just make sure you are not allergic to latex).

Answer 4

IUD.....intrauterine device. I prefer this method. It makes sex more spontaneous--no need to remember your pill or diaphragm or vaginal sponge. Mine is 99% effective which is more protection against pregnancy than pills or condoms. In the past I have had a Copper Seven that looks like a small plastic "seven" with copper wire coiled around it. Now I have a ParaGard which looks more like a "T". Inserting these into the uterus can hurt briefly and cause some cramping. And removing them (yes, they have an expiration date on their optimum efficiency) can REALLY hurt. But having it in place is not uncomfortable. I wouldn't have anything else!

Answer 5

It's called a IUD or, IntraUterine Device. I have had one since December 2005 and its worked great for me. Since I'm severely allergic to Latex, i didn't like trusting the non-latex condoms for fear that they would break easier. I haven't had many side effects at all, with the exception of bleeding until about middle of March, and then my period began to even out. My sex drive has also increased in my opinion, I almost couldn't wait the 2 weeks after it was put in, lol. Hope this is helpful and if have any other questions, then feel free to email me.

Answer 6

IUD, it is something that is inserted in the uterus. It wouldn't be my first choice, there's many more recent things that are safer to use (a foreign body in the uterus for a long period of time poses a risk of infection, uterine perforation, scarring )- rare, but why take the chance if you don't have to? I like the idea of the neuvoring - I'm going to look more into that one.

Answer 7

I had an IUD a few years ago, and to me it was very uncomfortable, (intimately). I had very painful cramps, and at times it felt like it was rubbing my insides. It worked good, but I guess it wasn't for me. Everybody's reactions are different.

Answer 8

I've heard a couple of those before but there's some pretty funny stuff there.

Answer 9

It is called an IUD, or intrauterine device. Most often, it is a copper wire that prevents implantation of an egg.

Answer 10

It's a IUD.


They place a hormone contraption in your cervix, and it automatically releases hormones as needed.


I've heard it's comfortable, that you can't feel it. However, I use the Pill.
