My Dr. said that is a common misconception about IUDs. It is for women in committed relationships (preferably married), but I have heard of single women getting them after STD and other testing. Also, you can have one if you have never been pregnant. I am married with no children and have one. The reason they say this is insertion can be very painful. Check out their website...they have some pretty good info on there www.mirena.com |

Seriously, though, the "commited relationship" thing is because it's easier to contract an STD with the IUD in. The woman would not need to be tested for STDs before getting it inserted, because the STD she already has wouldn't affect the IUD. Single, non-committed women are at high risk for STDs with the IUD, and it wouldn't make sense for them to get one, unless they were planning on having every sexual partner they have getting tested prior to sex. |

I think the thing about an IUD only being for women "commited relationships" is a crock. Women get IUDs for several reasons. I'm single, and I would get one if the $$ was right. And from what I've researched, its not right for me nor my insurance. The frequency of sex isnt the issue, its the increased ability to prevent pregnancy that attracts most women to IUDs use.
Just my opinion. |

I was on Estrostep for years. I tried Yasmin (only for a month) but I stopped taking it due to mood issues... it was so bothersome, that I didn't want to wait to see if it would get better. |

One girl told a horror story about her sister (who used an IUD) who concieved a child, and by the time they found out, the doctor's couldn't get the IUD out. It scared me (and my sorority sister who took the class w/ me) enough to never think of an IUD ever again! haha. Right now i'm on Apri, which is the "generic" brand that the school clinic gives out. |
