IUD's can be great too. My wife has used them for years. Reduced period frequency and severity, higher effective rate of contraception, no need to worry about taking a pill late or missing one. Her gynecologist said it will probably reduce pre-menopausal symptoms too when she gets older. And it's pretty easily removable.

There was a couple of weeks when she was sore from the initial placement, and the same whenever it gets changed. They keep on getting approved to last longer and longer- the most recent one was good for 8 years, but there's a good chance it will get extended before it needs to be replaced as more research is done.

Not for everyone, but great for a lot of people.

Absolutely! Know a few folks who use IUD's, and heard mostly positive feedback.
