As I replied to one of the messages on the forum I had the second IUD till January this year for 3 years. My first IUD was in for 11 years with absolutely no side effects.
I do think there are 2 things that're important besides of blah-blah how different we all are:
- Doctor's professionalism and expertise ( mine both were awsome OPERATING ob/gyns)
- Type and material of IUD. My first was Finn and had no strings by the way.
