I'm considering getting an IUD as my form of birth control and want to hear from women who are or have used them. Thanks.

I have an IUD and i love it. lighter periods, low hormones, low risk of side effects, and you don't have to worry about remembering to take the pill, or change the patch or go for a shot. I have mirena, it covers you for 5 years and you can have it taken out whenever you want if you decide you want to have a baby

Some people like the IUD and some don't. I don't like it very well because i skipped periods alot and had constant cramping. My mother has had the copper one after every child for the last 21 years and she loves it. It is convenient because you don't have to remember pills or patches or the shot because it will be in you for 5 to 10 years. I wouldn't get the shot though because it tends to have alot of nasty side effects the longer you are on it. One of them being a huge amount of weight gain . I gained 25 lbs in a summer and i am a healthy athletic person. But if your body doesn't reject it, which happens very rarely it is a wonderful form of birth control.

I have the Mirena IUD and love it. I wish I had gotten it sooner. I had spotting on and off for the first few months after I had it inserted, which really isn't that bad. I no longer have heavy painful periods or PMS. I highly recommend it.

they are very convenient but my mom got pregnant while she had one in i guess it slipped out or something i was on the depo shot and that worked the best for me and my mom after her pregnancy, you dont have your period at all and she is not pregnant
