IUV (Birth Control)?

Question

I was wondering about the type of birth control called IUV (
Intra Uterine Devices). If anyone knows a lot about it, please fill me in. It would be even better to hear from someone who uses it or has. I just want to know if it's a good way to, the pros and cons and really just what someone who's used it thinks of it.

Answer 1

I was a guinea pig for the Minera IUD back in the UK. I've had it for 9 years now, and in Europe it's good for 10 - I'm having it removed and replaced this year.

Personally, I've had no side effects - I got it to control my periods - I have a period maybe once every 3-5 months that lasts about 20 minutes, and, of course, my husband and I don't have to worry about babies.

Answer 2

I have had 4 children and used them before the 3rd, before the 4th, and afterward. I think they are wonderful because there is no pill to remember (or forget)...no hormones upset...no clumsy diaphragm... no shot, no side effects, no nothing. The principal is that you cannot conceive while there is a foreign object in the uterus. There is nothing new in this - for centuiries, camel drivers have used an apricot pit to prevent conception.

To insert it, the doc puts somethng like a straw up through your cervix and then runs the device through the straw and into the uterus, where it assumes its regular shape. At this point there's a tiny cramp, and that's it. You never feel it again, never know it's there. There is a thin tiny wire that you will never confuse with a tampon string. When you want to conceive you are supposed to have the doc remove it, but I just pulled mine out! (They are not very big).

BTW, it's an IUD.

Answer 3

I got my IUD inserted last september and i think its great! It is very dependable as far as preventing pregnancy. You dont have to worry about human error, such as not taking the pill on time or stuff liek that. I had a slight discomfort upon insertion, but nothing compared to child birth! It felt like minor menstrual cramps. It is definately worth it. Also, its good for five years. But, if you decide to have a baby before then, they can simply remove it and you can start trying to get pregnant. I can't really think of any cons or reasons i would advise someone not to do it. Ask for the mirena iud. That is the one i have, and my doctor told me it was the best one.

Answer 4

I have a Mirena....IUD, it has worked well as far as birth control, and the fact that I don't have periods anymore, but there are cons......I have had problems with my weight, boughts of depression, increased anxiety, and irritability. I have had mine for two years and I am thinking of having it removed. Good luck to you. Before you decide....look up Mirena IUD and I cant think of the sight, but there are women from all around telling "their story" about the IUD.

Answer 5

I used it back in the day and I loved it. No pills, nothing to worry about. I never got pregnant and I left it in longer than I was supposed to with no problems either. good luck. Talk to a Dr. IUD .

Answer 6

Just heard one of the radio doctors talking about IUDs.... a very low percentage of women has even heard of them. They are one of the most effective means of birth control. They are totally convenient.... don't have to remember anything. My wife used one and loved it.
