This reminded me of an old joke my Grandma told once.
"So a newly married girl goes upto her Grandma who lived a full life and had many children. She askes "Grandma, I love you but I don't want that many kids! How do I keep from having them?" The Grandma smiles and digs about in her purse and pulls out something. She hands to the girl a single copper penny and says "Just put this between your knees honey, you'll be fine".
Later on the girl attempted this method and realized, it's rather impossible to have sex while worried about keeping that penny between your knees.
Moral of the Story: If you don't want kids, keep your legs closed!
And yes, my Grandma told me that at 14 almost word for word the way she said it. :D:
I had Mirena, it was honestly great but it had one side effect I wasn't willing to live with. It totally TANKS your sex drive. IUD's have been around since the 70's and some people do have issues with them while others don't. Birth Control is a tricky thing to get right for most females, you end up trying four or five different methods until you find one you like that works great for you. Working good means "lowest side effects" is technical terms.
Personally, I'd just rather take myself out of the breeding population but as they've told me since I was 15 "Oh you don't know what you want". I can't wait til this year, now that I'm 30 I DARE my doctor to say that now! I still can't figure out why people get so upset with my personal decision NOT to reproduce?!
