K, bumping this thread because ratbastid and I are discussing this. I've been on bc pills for about 15 years now, (god I feel old!) and even though my doctor says there's no problem with me staying on the pill for another 10 years if I feel like it, part of me would really like to get reacquainted with my own rhythms. I've heard that the main side effects of IUDs are 1. spotting, 2. cramping, and 3. increased flow. So I'd like to hear from folks who do have them - what are the side effects like? Do they diminish over time? Since one of the main reasons I'm on the pill is to control horrrrrible cramping, I'm not really interested in doing something that might make it worse. I know side effects are unpredictable and vary wildly from person to person, but I'd still like to hear some personal experiences.
