I wish I had the patience to read through these 6 pages ---
Funny that I came across this recently bumped thread. I'm actually in the middle of deciding whether or not an IUD is a good choice for me. I happened to have had a miscarriage while I was away. Unplanned pregnancy. Point is - time to get on birth control. No more just-being-careful or praying-method.
After reviewing my options, I had no idea they were so damn limited. I'm a smoker and my GYN won't prescribe bc pills at / after the age of 35, so that's out. Depo causes weight gain - that's out. Condoms suck (I have one monogamous partner.) And I have issues with any sort of implant as the very thought disgusts me. But it seems to be the best option. I have no qualms with tampons, but implants makes me sick. *shudder*
Anyone here ever have a leep? Again, don't have the patience to read through 6 pages so I apologize if someone's already posted this. I had one a while ago. But leep procedures shorten the length of the cervix so I'm wondering if there will be a problem with an IUD. A friend of mine is my GYN's nurse, but she wasn't even sure about this and told me to research it.
