My Dr. wants me to get the IUD? Can someone give me some advice?!
Question:
Answers:
You know your Dr. might think he knows what is best for you but you gotta go with what you are comfortable with. A lot of people are afraid to say "No" to their doctor. Its your body and believe it or not you know your body better than any doctor does! If an IUD isn't your thing ask for info on some differents birth controls! I use Depo Provera and its the right one for me! Don't just settle cause you doc says so!
Other Answers:
Tell him No and get another DR. IUDs can cause all kinds of problems. There are safer Birthcontrol methods out there.
Its very effective and non hormonal so you dont get the problems you would get with the shot or pills, ring, etc. It still carries some risk of concieving just like any other birth control method. They inster it nonsurgically into your uterus and it stays put, you dont ever feel it, not even through sex. Its expensive but if you hate hormonal methods or cant keep up with trying to be "safe", I'd say go for it.
Bleieve it or not. the IUD is a great, easy way to use birth controll. As with any BC there can be side effects, but the IUD can be a non hormonal, just a bit of copper, hint, allergy test befor you have it placed! that way you'll know if you're allergic, very few people are, but you nevedr know. Anyway, IUD, less messy, don't have to remember to take anything, and the best part, no hormonal side effects! Love it!
hi! what i can say is, you just take birth control pills. it's safer and more reliable. better yet just have tubal ligation if you don't want to have more kids.
An inter-uterine device IUD, can cause problems.
Go back 2 the Docs, tell him 2 offer another suggestion.
IUDs got a bad reputation in the 70s because of a faulty product called Dalkon Shield that was rushed to market without proper testing (back in the days before IUDs were regulated by the FDA). Bad design caused bacterial infections and even deaths, and Dalkon Shileds were recalled and banned. Americans haven't forgotten that disaster, and it's ruined the reputation of an excellent form of birth control.
IUDs are great for many women because they do not necessarily alter the woman's hormones (there are hormonal versions, too, which are sort of a combo of an IUD and the pill -- but they are no more effective than the non-hormonal ones), they don't require much effort or maintenance (just a monthly check to make sure they're still in place), they're extremely effective, and they're immediately reversible if you decide you want to get pregnant.
Before you rule out the IUD, please do some more research. Women all over the world use them with great success and find them to be safer, gentler, and easier to use than any other birth control.
