I highly recommend the IUD. There are two types: the Paragard IUD (copper/no-hormones) and the Mirena IUD (releases only progesterin directly into the uterus).


The Paragard IUD is good for ten years. It can make periods a bit heavier.


The Mirena IUD is good for five years. This is the type of IUD that I have. I have not experienced any ill-effects in regards to the Mirena. I can't even tell hormones are being released. The Mirena IUD also causes your period to lighten significantly and in some cases, stop all together! I really like it! My girlfriend is also using the Mirena IUD after having her baby. She likes it as well.
