Do you have an IUD?

Question

Do you have or have ever gotten an IUD? I'm considering getting one but I'd like to get some feedback from current users first. Thanks!

Answer

I had the copper once and it caused me to have long, heavy, and painful periods. I also experienced cramps and lower back pain for 2 weeks out of the month.  I was only able to stick with it for about 6 months. As soon as it was taken out, my body calmed down a lot and I got back to a normal flow. I really wanted to like it because it doesn't have hormones but it really wreaked havoc on my body. That's just my experience, though and everyone's body is different. Your body may handle it well. Good luck :)

Answer

Though I don't use the IUDs, I have many patients at love it, they keep it in for 5 years and then have it removed, if they choose to have it taken out sooner, they can.

Answer

It comes down to preference, some go with copper because it can stay in place for about 10 years and it doesn't have a synthetic hormone, so as the Mirena which can only stay up to 3-5 years but has added progesterone.
