I know there is a BC thread somewhere but I know it is old and I was hoping that some of the women who posted in it during its early stage would give some advice now that it has been a few years.
Well after not having my sex drive for a good 3-4 years now, im2smrt4u and I have discussed it...at GREAT length and I am getting off of the traditional BC pills.
I have tried 3 different methods and while I have enjoyed the last two for many reasons; keeping me regular, no cramps, light short periods, no breast tenderness, I cannot stand the lack of a sex drive any longer! Plus my most recent BC which I have been on for a yr and a half now has made sex painful.
I finished off my last pack and while I have a good paying internship I'm going to fork out the money for an IUD. We have researched and looked them up and we have decided on the Paragard IUD. I won't be able to get into to see the gyno till the end of the month so in the meantime we are going back to condoms.
SOOO ladies, other than wishing me luck...Do I need luck? lol Has anyone done this or something similar? How did the whole experience go? Does anyone know anything or have the Paragard IUD? We chose this one over Mirena (sp?) as it had no hormones and that is what I am trying to get away from.
So basically share words of wisdom and advice
Thanks in advance!
