I've had my copper IUD for over 2 years now and I spot/bleed more than I don't. I'm going in for an ultrasound tomorrow to see if everything is okay. I'm fed up. Any suggestions on other types of Birth Control??

Hi crazyb2000, welcome!

I'm sorry you are having problems with your IUD. If you are looking for another non-hormonal method you might want to consider a diaphragm or cervical cap. They take discipline to use but in the more than 2 years that I’ve been using mine I've been very pleased with how well my cervical cap protects me. If you are interested in learning more about vaginal barriers, read ‘Diaphragms and cervical caps’ in the FAQs at the top of the board. I hope you find an effective method that works well for you.

Good luck,

      Jill
