Re: Advice about Birth Control

I've had an IUD for a couple of years, now. I got the copper one, because hormones don't play well with my bipolar meds.

It hasn't stopped my periods, in fact I'm spotting more than I used to. So if blood is an issue, that won't be good. (I've always had irregular periods, though.)

Inserting it was uncomfortable, but bearable. For the next few days I had a fair amount of pain, worse than normal period cramps, but not as bad as a six-week miscarriage.

It's not completely maintenance-free, you're supposed to check the strings once a month, to make sure that the IUD is still in place. Still, it's a lot less of a premium on accuracy than having to take a pill at the same time every day.
