IUD Question?!


Question: I am interested in getting an IUD and would like to know what other people's experience has been like.

I have 3 children and do not plan for more, so I am looking for something long term without getting tubes tied or a vasectomy at this stage.

Thanking everyone in advance..

I got a five year IUD an Had it for 3 years an I got a really bad vaginal infection, My dr ended up taking it out because of it...
I went back a month later after the infection healed an got a 10 year one... I like em, althought they caused me to have heavy periods an worse cramps during my periods... But its worked great for me..

I have a mirena Iud, I've had in for a year and a half, I've had no side effects and I don't get a monthly period any more. I was put under general anesthesia when it was inserted, and there was a little bit of bleeding after the procedure but other then that it's been great. There has only been one downside for me, and that is lack of sex drive, this is a common side effect from the mirena IUD and it is rather annoying. My boyfriend and I used to have sex 5 or 6 times a week, and now it's down to about twice a week, but other then that it's great. If your married it is especially great because you don't have to worry about STD's , it is not for someone who is having sex with multiple partners as it doesn't protect against any STD's.
Hope this helps
Good Luck
