Question:

Is there any other women out there that has and IUD at age 51?

I want to go off birth control and have an IUD put in, I am 51 and terrified of getting pregnant.


Answers:

I had iud's off and on over the years, and intermittantly had problems with them. They would work fine for a year, then bleeding would happen non stop.

Before menopause, I elected for depo provera shots. I loved them, they carried me right into menopause with no periods.

Each person is different, what works for one person, may not work for another. If you are comfortable with your iud, then go with that. If you are having side effects you don't like, discuss a change with your doctor or at your local family planning clinic.
