Hello all.
I joined this forum, primarily so I could reply to this thread. It looks like a neat place though, so perhaps I will stick around.
I have an appointment to get a copper IUD inserted tomorrow. I'm scared to death, but the truth is, the pill scares me more. I am only 29, and am a relatively healthy weight, but high blood pressure, stroke, and blood clots run in the family. I myself have high blood pressure, and although I don't smoke, I am around smokers a good bit. This is enough to convince me that I just don't need to be on the pill anymore. That, and it just seems to make me a basketcase lately.
This leaves me with a few options, none of which I like. The IUD seems to be the least displeasing of them, though. I have a tilted uterus, so I'm a little concerned about perforation; I've read that it is more likely to occur in a woman with a tilted uterus. I just don't know what else to do. None of the hormonal birth control methods are a good option for me, and I really would like more kids one day.
Does anyone have any information about IUDs in individuals that have a tilted (retroverted) uterus?
