Iud Birth Control Knowledge Base
Where can you go to get the birth control IUD? what kind of doctor or place do you go to get the birth control IUD? And also if not IUD what birth control would you say works the best other than abstinence? I got pregnant on the pill and I heard the DEPO shot makes you gain a lot of weight so other than those?
Does anyone have experience with the IUD birth control Mirena? I've read that after a year of use that 80% of women will have a lighter period...and 20% will lose their period all together..I've been on it about 9 months..and I've missed my last period..Should I just assume that it's the birth control..Or might I be pregnant?
Anyone use the IUD birth control Mirena? I am considering getting the IUD Mirena inserted. My current form of birth control is the patch (for 2-3 years) and I love it but my fiance and I are not looking to have kids for the next several years and would prefer the convienience of not having to change the patch weekly. I was wondering if anyone on answers is currently on it or has been on it in the past. Likes/dislikes, cost (did insurance cover a portion of it), side effects. Anything would be helpful. Thanks I should also mention that I have tried the shot (hated it, made me gain soooo much weight), the ring (wouldn't stay in), the pill (forget to take it) so thats how I ened up with the patch. I am planning on having kids someday so I don't want anything surgical and I liked the idea of the IUD becuase while it is effective for 5 years, it can be taken out at anytime if we decide we are ready for kids.
Does anyone know about the IUD birth control? I have a 2 year old Daughter. I tried the Nuva Ring for a while it wasn't right for me. My best friend was put on the IUD.

IUD birth control??? Does anyone know, from exprience how affective the IUD birth control is? And if the benefits out weigh the risks? Reading about it seemed a bit scary and sketchy. Any advice?
IUD birth control, your thoughts? from pro-life people, please.? i wanted to use the iud birth control, cause i have two kids a boy and just had my girl 5 weeks ago and as of right now do not want anymore. i like the idea is has no hormones and you can have it in there for up to 10 yrs. my OB/GYN told me is was a great birth control. but this is how it works, when the iud is inside your uterus is causes your uterus not be a safe environment. but there is still a chance the sperm and egg can meet in the fallopian tube and start multiply, when it gets in the uterus there is no place for it to implants itself, so then it goes with your period. so im having a hard time on what to think about this? im pro-life, and not sure if i would consider this murder or not? i mean the cells have already started to multiple, but idk im confused on my own thoughts.
I am using an IUD form of birth control. Any thoughts or ideas? I have been using this form of birth control since April of thise year. It is the one that carries hormones not the copper kind. But my periods have been messed up and irregular. For example, my last period was a month and a half, 10 days of no bleeding and now I am on it again but tomorrow will be day 14. I was on depo before changing and I have a period evey 3 months, but this sucks! Any thoughts on what to do or ideas on what would help this issue get resolved. I know the whole doctor thing duh... But I am way way busy with work and such so I would like to try something other then make the appointment first. Thanks in advance and only serious answers please. Oh yea. I am past the 4-5 month time frame for my body to become used to it.
IUD birth control questions.? I am 26 weeks pregnant and am thinking about my options for birth control after she is born. I cant take the pill or the shot or anything "too" hormonal for that matter because I have a history of blood clots in my wrist from artery damage in my shoulder. What Im wondering is why do they say that candidates for the IUD (copper preferably) should be in a commited relationship. Im 23 and going through divorce as we speak. Im not saying I sleep around but I just wana be safe just in case I meet up with an old flame or something. I dont want to have another baby for a long time. Can anyone answer that main question for me? Any additional information about the IUD would also be greatly appritiated. Thank you for your time.

Why arent Women on welfare REquired to have an IUD (birth control) as long as they are receiving welfare?!?!!? Why is it that women on welfare are allowed to keep breeding MORE children when they cant take care of their child/children as it is?!!! There are birth control methods that are TEmporary and can be removed at a later time, so what is wrong with giving them the CHOICE to either have an IUD put in or not receive MORe money!! This country is falling apart when it makes more sense for me (who recently graduated college) to have a baby and get STATE money than it is to get a JOB!!! In response to the first person's comment: No, at least Financially, they CANNOT take care of their children!!! Their first child is being paid for by OTHER people and there is no reason for the STATE to promote that individual to have MORE children, regardless of the type of parent that person may be!!!

I'm having bleeding problems ever since I had the birth control IUD.? Is something wrong with my birth control IUD and my body? I've just gotten on this IUD about a month ago and I'm bleeding ever since. My doctor said on the day of the procedure that I will be spotting for a few hours but it's been months 1- 1/2. I read somewhere it said that women will bleed for a few weeks after IUD is insert but it's taken forever for me. I'm scare that something might be wrong with my IUD. I don't bleed everyday, but since I got the IUD about a month ago I had only about 3 days that I recall i didn't bleed other than that it's like mini periods for me everyday and someday it really seems like I'm on my periods. I'm pretty scare. I think I better contact my doctor uh??
IUD Birth Control..? I'm just curious has anyone gotten an IUD put in right after delivery or within the 6 week period before your check-up? Or do you know someone that has? The whole reason I'm pregnant right now is because I was supposed to have an IUD put in but they told me to wait until I had my period & they kept rescheduling my appointments. I'll probably ask my doctor but I don't see him for another few weeks, any input would be helpful!

Copper IUD birth control??? I want to get a copper IUD (the one w/out hormones), and was really happy with everything I've heard so far, and I fit all of the criteria. Then I found out that some one close to me got pregnant within 2 months of getting one, and it freaked me out a little. I wouldn't mind another child, but I heard that it is dangerous while leaving the UTI in or taking it out during pregnancy. Has anyone used this kind of bc? Any likes or dislikes??? Things I should know or consider? Thanks:)
Mirena IUD birth control spotting- sporatic 1.5 years later? I have been on the Mirena IUD about 1.5 years. My periods have dwindled down to nothing. The past 4 months, I get "brown" spotting for about days. (very light) This goes on anywhere between 1 week- 2.5 weeks. I called my doctor and even had a pelvic ultrasound to rule out any ovarian cysts. Nothing. This month- same thing. Brown spotting all of last week sporatically, and the week before EXCEPT- today I have light pinky red spotting. I'm defintaly not pregnant. Should I be concerned or is this just Mirena?
mirena iud birth control? dr. told my duaghter she had to be married to get the iud, she had a baby six weeks and is unmarried, but in a relationship. why did he tell here that?
Question about Mirena (IUD) birth control? I've had my IUD in for almost a year. In this year I have sometimes missed my period, but normally i'd have a real light period maybe once to every other month that would last about 3 days. It was also rare when I'd need a pad for those periods. I also didn't bloat up that much and had no cramping either. This month I'm extremely bloated, with bad cramping and a heavy period thats lasted almost 5 days. I also don't feel good, I almost feel like i'm going to get sick at times. This is throwing me through a loop and was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this on a IUD. I'm even having low somewhat sharp pelvic pain ontop of the cramping, and I'm seeing a lot of "old" blood on my pads. thanks

Mirena/IUD Birth control? I had Mirena inserted in february, six weeks after my baby was born. My last menstration was in september and in october I started lactating(very little) and it hasn't stopped. I took a pregnancy test at the end of october and it was negative. I know it is normal to skip periods with Mirena. My question is : Is it normal to lactate while using Mirena?and has this happend to you? I checked the Mirena website and could not find anything about this. I did not breast feed and I dried up completely months ago

Urgent!!! Question about Paragard IUD birth control...please help!? I have had the paragard inserted now for about 7 or 8 months. I was never able to feel the string when doing the self check even when I was at the doctors and they inserted it and asked me to feel for it. I told them the only I could feel felt like a scar and the nurse said "oh yeah thats probably it" And everytime I feel for it thats still all I feel, but it doesn't feel like a string? I would start spotting around the 27th of every month and then it would get really heavy around the 1st for a few days and then go back to spotting, also would have spotting and bloody discharge in between periods. So it's gonna the 30th and I have no signs of starting, not spotting or bloddy discharge and I usually do by now. Im scared it might have fallen out and I got pregnant. Has anyone ever had anything similar to this happen. I also don't have insurance anymore and I can't afford the doctors visit let alone if they have to do anything. Does anyone know anything about this thing?!?

Could my IUD (internal birth control) be contributing to anxiety problems? I got my IUD in November of 2005 and since that time, I have developed strange anxiety disorders. On and off of medications, strange allergic reactions. Could this be a hormonal embalance? Any other reasoning? I have had many tests ran from blood to EEG tests. Please help anyone. Opinions welcome.
A question on the IUD Merina birth control..please help me? I am on mirena the iud that stay in up to five years. It is said to be more effective than a vesectomy and you can have it redone in five years or have it removed early and still remain fertile. I have been on this for over a year now and have had some problems. At first everything was normal...five months later I stopped my period for three months and the doctor said that it was normal not to worry that everyone usually quits all together. Well the next month I had a light period for three days...once a week. Now it can be every other day. I know I need to go to the doctor but some advice would be helpful so I know where this is headed. Also, I don't have the money to run to the doc every time I have a problem so I wanted to decide whether this was normal or not. Thanks anyone.
