So as many of you know, I already have a child... he is 4. I am also engaged, yada yada yada. Either way.. in the time I've been with Mike, I've used a few different forms of Birth Control.. Different pills.. but the problem with those were:
<UL>
<LI>Weight gain</LI>
<LI>breaking out</LI>
<LI>and not remembering to take them at scheduled times</LI>[/list]


(This is a little personal at times and it's long)


I've also tried the patch which was alright, except it DOES move around (not a problem in the winter because I could stick it on my shoulder blade or arm.. and didn't affect me during working out. BUt again, I was sticky, and it slid around and I was afraid of losing it... (as I lost it swimming once). The pros were
<UL>
<LI>It was placed once a week</LI>[/list]


I was on the nuva ring for about a year, but I got a few (personal) yeast infections while I was using it... (which I had never had before).. and it began to become painful to remove. The pros:
<UL>
<LI>Once a month</LI>
<LI>Didn't move around, but had to remove it during interc'</LI>[/list]


So, now I'm getting a IUD.. which I guess they stick up in your uterus, and it is nonhormonal.. (which i really like because it won't interfere w/ any medications or cause any moodiness... but may cause cramping or PID...but that's all .. wheaas there are other risks that come w/ the pill. (pick and choose ur evil I guess)


I'm not scared that I'm going to v*.. b/c I've had worse done to me... and they won't be using any anestisia. It's also a very quick procedure, and the doctors are all experienced. I also am getting this done because I don't have to think about birthcontrol for the next 10 years.. there's nothing daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly... so if I take well to it then I am all set.


But I'm still nervious and can feel myself getting worked up. I've looked into this, and thankfully my healthcarrier covers it... but I was just wondering if anyone else has one.. or knows anyone who had one done.. and let me know how it was or how they took to it.


thanks if you read this and if you are able to give me any info.
