Is anyone on this type of birth control? How is it? Do you have any trouble with it or anything else you can tell me about it. I'm thinking about getting it but not sure if I really want it. It sounds better then having to remember to take the pill every day at the sametime.

there are two types of IUD: the copper one and the hormonal one (Mirena). Most of the horror stories I hear come from Mirena since most birth control problems are hormone induced. I have heard many great things about the copper IUD. I have had bad experiences with hormonal bc so I want to be hormone free, but still be 99.9% protected against pregnancy. go for the copper IUD
