Non-hormonal Birth Control, IUDs
Posted: 12-02-07 23:48pm

I am a virgin, not for religous reasons really...although it was pressed into me that NICE girls wait till marriage, I also just feel as though I am not ready to experience that with somebody. I would just like to be prepared in case in the future (if any of you have read my other posts don't worry I am going to make him wait awhile). The gyno said that I could fit an IUD, because I want a non-hormonal birth control. I am allergic to Latex or else I would just use condoms.

I was just wondering anyone's experience with IUDs?

I Love the IUD, as I cannot use hormonal BC methods.

I am also allergic to latex.

I waited until I was engaged to have sex the first time, after we had dated for almost 2 years, it was very special!

IUD's that are non hormonal are extremely safe. You may have a heavier period for the first 2-3 months, but this never happened to me. My periods stayed the same, including my cramping level.

I took Vicodin, and for me it was painless.

Some doctors will prescribe something very string, others will not.

800MG of Ibuprofen will be a good idea.

It WILL be crampy, BUT it is worth it.
