| copper iud vs. mirena ius OPINIONS PLEASE!
Posted: 4/3/2006 5:40:51 PM | I'm trying to make the best informed decision right now between the copper iud (vs.) mirena ius.
I know I want one or the other, just wanting to weigh the pros and cons between the two.
At first I was leaning toward the copper iud because I didn't want to introduce hormones into my body. But I am still going back and forth back between the two and need to make my decision very soon.
This will be my first experience with any type of birth control. I have never taken the pill or any other type.
So what I want to know is have any women out there gone from the copper iud to the mirena ius or visa versa for any specific reason, or even anyone out there tried them both?
I hear lots of good things about the Mirena ius but I still don't want to take hormones into my body at all. So I would love to hear back from women who have the Copper iud and why you like it so much? or why you didn't like it so much? | |

Posted: 4/3/2006 9:22:38 PM | oh well I guess no one really has an opinion on this, I really hope to hear from at least one women with the copper iud.
I've read all the posts on the mirena, but I need to make my decision real soon.
So if anyone is even dating someone one with the copper iud or maybe even ever dated someone with it. What did they say? or What have they ever said?
Hate it? Love it? | |

Posted: 4/4/2006 5:22:15 PM | I've had copper IUD's. When I got the first one, I had quite a bit of spotting the first few months, but that's one of the possible side effects I had read about so I was prepared for it. I've never been pregnant, so the spotting may have been worse for me than it would be for someone who has had children. With the second IUD I think I had a few days of spotting, but it didn't last long.
When I had the UID, I always had cramps with my period (and I rarely got cramps before that), but they were never anything a Tylenol or aspirin couldn't take care of. That might be something to consider if you already have painful periods, because the IUD might make it worse.
Overall, I liked the IUD. I had reasons I didn't want to take pills, and the IUD was pretty trouble free except for the first few months of spotting.
If you had any more specific questions you wanted to ask, let me know. | |

Posted: 4/6/2006 7:29:26 AM | How long have you had the copper iud in?
or how long would you recomend having it in for the first one?
this response is to anyone, with opions please,
what I'm kinda confused about is the copper iud is supposed to be effective for 10 years while the mirena is only for 5 years?
the mirena has hormones so it is supposed to be more effective I guess, but my midwife said the effective rate is the same for the iud & ius. And the mirena is supposed to be effective from day one to the first day of the 5 year, but if I releases hormones, why wouldn't the effective rate lessen as it got older?
So I'm still thinking back and forth between the two, Please if anyone has had them both I would really appreciate your feedback.
and thank you very much trilby | |
