IUD?
| Mon, 03-22-2004 - 11:08am |
Hi everyone! Can any of you give me some details about IUD's? How they work, side effects, cost, etc. I recently posted because I am sick of condoms and a couple of you suggested IUD. I don't know anything about this method so I would love to hear from anyone who has experience with it. Thanks! dmj

I've had it about 8 1/2 months and I absolutely love it....It has cut my periods from a very heavy flow down to spotting a few days per month-I've gone from using a double pack of "overnight" pads to using pantiliners....It was heavier in the first few months and for a while I had a period every 2 weeks but it didn't last very long....I had cramps every now and then but in the past few months haven't noticed more than a few "twinges"....It was a little pricey-I was paid back by my insurance co but I had to pay for it out of pocket and file insurance then....GOOD LUCK in your decision!!!!
