IUD vs. Depo
| Thu, 06-03-2004 - 1:32pm |
Does anyone know which is more effective, an IUD or Depo?
I just started Depo, but do not have any statistics on it (concerning pregnancy). I have also heard good and bad about an IUD.
Wondering which one is more effective. Anyone know??
Thanks,
Aprile

This is what Planned Parenthood http://www.plannedparenthood.org/bc/cchoices.html has to say about the IUD and Depo:
IUD: 92-99.9% effective
Depo Provera: 97—99.7% effective
Both IUDs and Depo have their advantages and disadvantages. Read what PP has to say about them. I hope Depo is right for you. Let us know how you’re doing, ok?
Good luck!
