I am going from the patch to and IUD today. I have been on the patch for over a year. It's been great, but we need something a little more long term. Anyway... I was wondering what side effects anybody had from switching to an IUD. I had one about 5 years ago and then had it removed so we could get preggo. At the time I know I liked it. It has been so long since I have had one could somebody refresh me. I know I'm not going to be a happy camper tongiht so DH is prepared for that... TIA

It probably depends on which IUD you are getting.


It may take a wee while for your cycle to settle down, so be prepared for that.
