IUD questions.

[infamousmae.livejournal.com]

I just recently had my first Ob/Gyn appointment and received samples of Seasonique.

I'm about to be married and will be moving out of the country for a good two/three years in October.

My doctor told me about a form of birth control [IUD] that would probably be good for me, with me traveling and being so far from home. After hearing her opinion on this, it made me consider the thought of that form instead of just the pill.

My soon-to-be-hubby and I definitely aren't planning on having kids anytime soon, and I understand that once it's inserted, it's good for five years and not recommended to be removed before then.

Has anyone used this form of birth control? I'm curious to learn more about it from women who have actually been on it and can tell me the ups and downs first hand.

Thanks! :]

I have a Flexi-T 300, and just passed my one year mark with it. I LOVE IT. Sex when I want, where I want with no worries, and no hormones! Also, I swear that my periods are actually more comfortable now than they were on the Pill...but I reacted very poorly to hormones. My first 6 periods were heavier, though, but now they've evened out and are a piece of cake.

I recommend IUD's to everyone I can think of, haha.

Awesome. It's good to hear that these things actually can work properly and seem to be less stressful.

Thank you. :]
