Hiya,
I'd really like to hear from anyone that's had positive/negative experiences with IUD's. Thinking about what to do after bubs us born as we can't afford a second baby as yet. Really don't want to go back on the pill if I can help it but I don't know anything about IUD's. ------------- http://www.TickerFactory.com/weight-loss/wyI1oWn/">

I have one. Apart from heavier periods, they seem very good. I have a standard one, not a Mirena (as they gave me headaches). ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Are heavier periods standard with IUD's? ------------- http://www.TickerFactory.com/weight-loss/wyI1oWn/">

Yep, they can be and I have found that mine definitely are. But other than that, I have found it very reliable and a great peace of mind. I will get another after number 2. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| I have a mirena and love it, had no problems and love how I don't need to 'do' anything. Will most likely get another after this one runs out. |

Thanks for that. I've just always thought they were a little invasive but I really don't want to go back on the pill. I was on a 3rd gen pill too as it was one of the few that worked for me. ------------- http://www.TickerFactory.com/weight-loss/wyI1oWn/">

Can you still have an IUD if you have cervical issues E.g. Colposcopy and Lletz procedures? ------------- http://www.TickerFactory.com/weight-loss/wyI1oWn/">

Danaj - I posted in your other thread - but I loved my IUD. I had the non-hormonal one and my periods were actually shorter and lighter than normal. I think it can go either way.
Sorry -can't help you with the cervical issues question. The string can irritate your cervix so you would have to find out if that would cause any issues. ------------- http://tickers.cafemom.com">
