IUD Birth Control

[Grog]

I started a thread on this a while ago:

For the record, I haven't had one inserted because we are planning to have children within a year or two, so I thought it was silly to try to fix something that wasn't broken at all. (I have no problems with the pill and never had any.) I am mostly annoyed with the pill because of all the estrogens that are released in the streams and rivers and oceans (a big problem now in Eastern Canada and most likely in the States as well... antidepressants too) as a result. But it will soon be over for me...

Thanks for the responses!!

And thank you Grog for letting me know about the original thread. I figured there was one somewhere, I just couldn't find it. I'm off to read about it now...

I've had two different IUDs. The first one worked GREAT! I can't remember which one it was because it was so long ago, in my early 20s. The second one was murder--terrible cramps and heavy heavy bleeding. It was a copper one--t-shaped, I think. I was only able to have it for a few months before I gave up on it.

I had my first child at 20, so I was a good candidate for an IUD. I thought it would be wonderful to have one again after I married my husband, but it wasn't. I think the newer ones are probably better than the ones I had. My experience indicates that if you don't like one version, you might want to try another.
