IUD Question

I have been reading all the posts on the IUD and have decided that I am going to do it. One thing, I am *neurotic* about b/c. Would it be okay to still use a spermicide WITH the IUD? I am that girl who will use condom, b/c AND spermicide. all at the same time. LOL. Thanks for any info!!

IUDs are the most effective birth control besides sterilization. There's really absolutely no need for spermicide. But if you just have to use it, I don't see the harm. You may want to ask your doctor about this just in case.

Double check with your doctor, but I'm guessing it isn't a problem ~ I've had Mirena for a full 5 years & have always used spermicide lubricated condoms with it.

Good luck!
