I've been curious about the IUD for years now. I have tried the ring and the pill and neither have worked for me. The pill is difficult to remember and I am frustrated when I have to take antibiotics or I get sick. Then the ring made me super dry. I kid you not, when I had my last pap my obgyn was like "Oh wow, you are dry." I was pretty embarrassed. Well today I finally sucked it up and called about an initial IUD appointment. I have to be there in less than two hours and I think I may actually be having it put in today. If not today, then very soon. So I want to know experiences about both of them.

Basically, I want to have a period and I want minimal side effects. I think those are the main things that I need to worry about.

Update: I will not be getting the IUD today.

I think youd want paragrad for minimal side effects,& menstraul periods. Paragrad has no hormones. Also on youtube bedsider has videos of real people telling you the pros & cons of each contraseptive just enter bedsider paragrad IUD or Mirena of youd like both.
