You've said this a couple times now and I have to say something. Technology has come a long way since the seventies. If I remember correctly, many women also got sick and died in that period due to a lack of knowledge about infections. Today, IUDs are one of the most used BCs in the world and of course they are much more effective and much safer now.
I'd also like to point out that for every one child conceived while the mother has and IUD, there are roughly 300 children conceived despite birth control pills.
Update on my IUD: I'm starting to get a cycle again, 8 months later... but that means lots of cramps. I'm hoping everything evens out soon but I still wouldn't trade my IUD for pills.
