as painful as it is i choose it over the pill – you can more or less forget about it for over 3 years whereas pill is an everyday thing.

aw thanks nora!

kristin, it’s 5 and you’re supposed to keep tabs on the “strings” every so often.

ya i thought it was 5 (or 8-10 with a copper one?) but my doctor said after 3 years the strings start to get brittle and may break when they try to yank it out of there. i do not want to know what happens when they break and they have to go fishing around in there for it! UGHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

I’d have to try bacon vodka before I can believe it! Photoshopping a tan, really? Scandalous!

they can actually stay in for 5 years – according to the medical people. according to pharma it’s 3 cos they want more monies. so a happy medium is 4. that is a horrible story ugh sorry.

i had to have my iud inserted twice in a row because the first time it came BACK OUT with the applicator. so not only was that the most painful thing i had ever experienced, but i got to do every single horrible step all over again within 2 minutes of the first one. i wanted to punch that doctor in the face but i was to in shock and pain to do anything but yell (yes i was that girl!!!). ughhhhhh. i am not looking forward to redoing this business in 3 years time. i will need to be knocked out.

Just had my IUD put in but I had it put in alongside a surgery I was having so I got to be totally knocked out for it… Still SO painful afterwards and NOT looking forward to the day I have to get it taken out … there’s no going back now though
