I don't know if anyone is going to know what this is.... My OBGYN told me about it after Leane was born. It's a birth control device that is inserted into your uterus and it stays in place for 5 years. It's still quite new, and I'm a little iffy about using it. A friend of mine was using that depo-provera shot and it caused a whole butt-load of problems cuz it was still pretty new and she didn't know much about it, and now she's sick as a dog. I really don't want something like that happening..... he said that it's more effective than a woman who's had her tubes tied.....so i guess it works..... as soon as it's instered, it's effective and the day he takes it out, you can become pregnant again.
It's a hormonal release IUD (intra uterine device) Here's some data: http://www.fwhc.org/birth-control/iudinfo.htm
Thanx for that maggie. My doctor gave me a 4 page sheet about it, but it negleted to mention the part about infertility and heavier periods. I think that I'm going to steer clear from it.....just use regular BC. I still want to have LOTS more kiddies, and I'm not putting my body at risk for contraception.
