I'm sure something like that is not quick and easy to recover from and having minor uterine wall irritation is nothing compared to what she's experienced and it sounds like if her friends had that issue, the IUD was not inserted properly. BTW- It is 5-7 years with the hormonal and 10 years with the copper (Not 3 years). And the IUD is gaining huge popularity, along with the Nuvaring. I had the speech from my dr. (a naturopath) last week- that's why I know so much about it. Not trying to convince you- just giving you the facts. But I am just concerned that her fear from the bad experience in the past has or will keep her from caring for herself or not being open to other solutions.
