RE: IUD
I have the Paragard (Copper, no hormones). I've had it since 6 weeks PP. I did have a lot of cramping for probably a month...and spotting...after insertion, but it hasn't bothered me since. My doctor has a HUGE practice, and he says none of his patients have ever gotten pregnant with it. I think it is such an excellent form of birth control, and am really surprised that there are so many mothers that opt to use BCPs over the IUD. It doesn't make any sense to me; that is my opinion though. I think a lot of people are afraid of IUDs, since they had their problems in the old-days. The IUD has come lightyears since then, though, and is perfectly safe. I'm very happy with my choice.
