Birth control troubles, please halp

[Aksannyi]

I'm equally happy with creampie or swallowing either way is less to clean up.

I haven't really ever considered an IUD. I'm happy with the pill and it's served me well so I figure if it isn't broken, I shouldn't fix it.

I am curious what the BG women out there think of IUDs? No need to remember anything and it lasts for 5+ years until you need a replacement.

Oh yeah no hormones involved either!

The Mirena still has hormones in it.

The hormone free copper IUD has a nickel core, which is something I wouldn't risk since I have a pretty bad nickel allergy. I think you can get one with a silver or gold core but I haven't looked into it that much.

They can also be extremely painful to insert, depending on the person. Some doctors don't recommend IUDs unless you've had a child already.
