I want to get on the IUD so i don't have to worry about taking the pill everyday! I have some questions about it though, does it hurt you having it in, does it make it uncomfortable for me and my husband to have sex, and does it make you gain weight like the pill can? I am only 21 is that to young to get on the IUD? Please answer back!

I have the Mirena IUD and love it. It is recommended for women who have had at least one child. I had no discomfort having it inserted. I no longer have painful heavy periods or PMS. There is some spotting off and on for the first few months. I have had no weight gain which was a major concern for me.

The cons way outweigh the pros on this one. First of all, even though there are those who say you can, there are a lot of significant studies that say that unless you've had a kid, you are NOT an eligible candidate for an IUD. If you get one now, you're more likely to suffer from a perforation (puncture) or spontaneous expulsion than a person who's had at least one child.
Furthermore, the insertion discomfort and irregularities in bleeding, and severe cramping are going to vary from person to person, but are almost inevitable.
My strongest suggestion to you would be to look at an alternate method - the shot, the patch, and the Nuva-ring are all good alternatives that don't require much more thought than doing the laundry! The patch and ring are both external and low-dose BC, so the weight gain is minimal, and the shot has the added benefit (aside from having to think about it only 4x a year) of eliminating your period (mine stopped with the first shot!).
Really do your homework on this one before you go through the expense (some insurances don't cover IUD's) and discomfort.

I bet together with your situation I could be paranoid too. And even though I had an convenient time conceiving I could had been pleased with an early unintended being pregnant. I obtained on Mirena eight weeks when we had our first youngster and I most effective opt for to on the grounds that I determine I shouldn't have a situation getting pregnant once more. The ordinary household plan probably the first-rate choice for you. Maybe use the ones ovulation predictors and restrict having intercourse or 'take a look at' lol, the pull out procedure. It all depends upon while you desire to have your subsequent child, you probably competent to begin attempting faster than so much if you already know it is going to take you a even as, however I could supply your frame a leisure for no less than 6 months.

I would not recommend IUDs or the shot (Depo Provera) for birth control. As others have mentioned before me, the IUD is not recommended for women who´ve never been pregnant and you can also run into other problems such as the device moving inside you which can result in an unwanted pregnancy and then miscarriage. Some people are allergic to the copper IUDs and develop serious reactions and infections.
The shot has many adverse side effects in some women, including nausea, headaches, and too many others to mention. My ex-boss had to go off it because it started to cause her to go into early menopause in her 30s!

Three words: Don't do it. There are some serious health issues associated with IUDs, especially in younger women. I would never suggest this kind of birth control, but if you are serious about not having children for at least five years, then I would point you in the general direction of your doctor's office.
If you are just having problems with remembering to take the pills, consider the NuvaRing (slip it in once a month) or the shot (also once a month, I think). They are much easier to deal with and recover from.

If youve had a child before then no your not to young. If you havent had children it will be very hard to find a DR who will insert it for liability reasons.
Your Husband should not feel it and if he does you can have the strings nipped shorter or tuck around your cervix
Once in place it doesnt hurt nor do you even feel it. The only way you feel it is if and when you check for your strings

You can go with IUDs . But it may have some complications. You may experience severe bleeding, and pain sometime.
This will not interfear in sex.
Pills are more convenient but you have to take it daily.
You can use barrier method like condom
