It's only a little that she distrusts IUDs-- she's got a couple of friends who had to have their IUDs removed because of irritation of the uterine wall, but she knows that they are statistically very much in the minority.
It's more that she doesn't want to go through getting one put in/replaced, even though it's only once in three years. Several years ago, she survived a brain aneurysm, and spent a year and a half in and out of the hospital, recovering. I think she just feels like any doctor visit she can avoid, so much the better-- she's had enough for one lifetime.
It's actually not such a huge thing for me, that I would push her on the subject. I like sex without condoms better, but safe is safe, and sex with a condom is still damn fine. I feel like it behooves me better to let her be on this issue.
