Anyone still using IUD's? Have you had any problem with them.

I've had the Mirena for 2 years. I just had a check up and its where it is supposed to be. The only major complaint I have is when I have sex in certain positions he and I can feel it, and it isn't always super comfortable, and then sometimes I don't feel it at all. I was on the Depo Shot previous and switched mostly because of cost, I got basically a free implant from a government grant. I am now turning 34, so I'll have it until I'm 37 if I don't take it out earlier. That somewhat concerns me just because of my age, but I haven't had any concerns otherwise. I will say if she has never had children, take a major dose of pain relief before. My hole cervix cramped up, and I should have had a ride from the appointment. I was very uncomfortable, but that subsided by the end of the day. I had sex within a wk as I was told not to before that. The other great thing about it, my boobs are in a constant state of pre-pregnancy big. They look awesome. Between the shot and the IUD I haven't had a period in 10 years, so I love that. Every couple of years I'll have spotting, but that is normal according to my Dr.

I had Mirena and had to have it removed. After it had been in a while it started causing intense cramping that left me unable to move. The doctors thought I had some form of cancer it was so bad. We removed the IUD and it stopped completely.

I'm on Implanon now and have no complaints.

I've heard good things about iuds and the implant but the implant seems to be the better option, I'm considering it myself

I know a lot of doctors won't put in an IUD if you haven't had kids, that is the problem I ran into but I have heard too many horror stories over the IUDs. A friend of mine ended up with Pelvic Inflammatory Disease when she had her's in an had to have it removed. I hope she is able to find a form of birth control that works for her.

I don't have one but my best friend does. She had to go back in after a week because she was experience horrible pains and they had to re-position it. She hasn't mentioned any trouble since then.
