I got the IUD in April of 2006. It sounded like the best idea compared to other birth control methods. I tried the "ring" and became psychotic....and I could never remember to take the pill. My Doctor recommended IUD just 4 months after I had my first son. However, I bleed for about 5 month after it was inserted. I went back to my doctor complaining about the bleeding and also strange twitching in my abdomen so they did an ultrasound to rule out a cyst. I did not have a cyst, and they told me the bleeding was normal. I thought I’d stick it out since I paid for it and it was easy. I have noticed extreme changes since the iud. I am extremely Moody, My periods last at least 8-10 days every month, absolutely no sex drive, Depression, headaches, fatigue, and acne. Just up until I came to this site I thought maybe I had some other weird disease!! But now I am making doctors apt to have it removed and I think maybe I’ll just stick with good O’l fashioned condoms. Every person is different though. It definitely did its job of not getting me prego, but for me it’s just not worth the side affects. Good luck ladies!
