re: anyone has the IUD??

Quoting anglcdlnqncy:“ I know with most IUDs they say it can take up to 9 months to regulate so that is probably why. I know ... [snip!] ... twice thinking we were pregnant. I also do know one person who got pregnant on it but turns out it was inserted upside down.”

Wow! I had the Mirena first in 07 but they put it in while I was pregnant and I didnt know it they didnt do a pregnancy test. I got a really bad infection from it and so did my son he was born at 21 weeks...I didnt find out until I was 29 weeks and I would get a cramp that would make me double over and then I would GUSH blood to where I would leave puddles on the floor..Sorry TMI! And my doctor talked me into getting it again and now Im a pain in the same spot as before but not nearly as bad and then I started bleeding just a little and Im not pregnant...so Idk what to do...

When my dr put my mirena in the 2nd he forgot to loosen the clamp on my cervix all the way and ripped it..OMG! that hurt so bad! I thought I was going to bleed to death):

I have the mirena and i love it. Im not getting my period and cramps either! Im so glad i chose this type of birth control!

i have mirena, and i havent had any problems over the past 2 years..i love it.


but im having baby feverrrrr, it may be coming out within the next year or so.

i have paragarad...the copper one. i love it...i still get periods but i don't mind...lol. and it last for 10 years.

for those of you that have it did ya pay for it or did your insurance cover it? I have med-pass but I called some gyn and the said that medicaid doesn't cover it but then my friend had call medicaid and they said that they pay for the parguard but not for the mirena..

My insurance covered it. Only cost me $25 dollars for 10 years of BC. Makes it the cheapest BC by far for me!

I have medicaid and they paid for everything.

I have medicaid and they would have paid either way. Paragard or mirena.

insurance covers it, like pretty much any type of BC!!

Well this post helped my decision on what birth control I want lol, I've been thinkn about the mirena (sp?) and even talked to my doc about it, sounds good to me  

thats good to know bc I called so many GYN and they all said that Medicaid doesn't cover it weird! my friend obgyn is going to insert the IUD for her and most likely I would do with her as well. anyone lives in Miami and know a obgyn who does the procedure and medicaid covers it??
