I want an IUD
| Fri, 09-17-2004 - 1:43am |
I am 26 years old, in a monogamous relationship, have had normal paps, and STD free. I have been on the pill off and on for seven years, steadily for the past four years. I want to stop taking the pill. I have zero sex drive, and I hate putting the hormones in to my body. My contact lenses are constantly irritated as a side effect of the pill, I have gained enough weight that I am uncomfortable with myself, and I am sick of being a human science experiment. My doc told me that I am a perfect candidate for an IUD(my uterus is big enough, my cervix is in good shape, my health is good, no children...etc.) I am dying to get off the pill!!!! I want to want sex again!!!!! But, I would appreciate it if some women here with situations similar to mine could tell me thier stories. I just want to know that I am in good company. Thanks!

I was in your exact same situation, plus 2 years of age, and I just had my IUD inserted 1 week and 1 day ago. So far, I am loving my IUD! Here are two links that I posted about my getting the IUD:
IUD run-around! *grumble*

Good Luck with your decision, it was worth it for me.
