Need information about an IUD.?

I was just curious if anyone had any information on an IUD. I would like to try to use this type of birth control but am not familiar with it. Another question I have is does insurance cover this cost and how much is it usually if it don't?

How do I stop bad B.O. before it starts?

Answers:
the cost w/out insurance is $400 however many planned parenthood's offer them at a discount you can order your IUD directly from the company and get on a payment play (which was what I was going to do since my insurance didn't wanna cover it when it 1st came out they were in the process of approving it)
Insurance generally does cover it though.

The real way an IUD works is unknown but 1 of the methods is speculated is that it alters the lining in the uterus (like numerous hormonal birth controls on the market) so that they cannot implant. The Para guard which is the non-hormonal is speculated makes your bod thing that its already occupied so any fertilized egg just passes. but its not a known fact.

There are many restrictions
you must be over 25 OR
have at least 1 child (preferably having at least 1 child)
be in a monogamous relationship as well as your partner

The reason why is bc if youve had at least 1 child yoru uterus is slightly larger and is less likely to expell the iud. 2nd there is a very slim chance of causing fertility problems but that usually happenes when the woman or her partener has multiple partners bc it puts the woman at higher risk for infections and an Infection is harder to treat with an IUD in place.

Diffrences
Paraguard 10 yrs non-hormonal might incream pms cramps as well as mestrual flow
Mirena 20% of women expereince lack of period like me the others notice a diffrence in flow and a decrease in cramps as well this method is good for 5 yrs and has hormones its also being used for endometriosis.

You will experience cramping when inserted I advice taking ibeprofine 40 b4 insertion to ease the cramping I had very minimal cramping at my insertion.

The faulire rate of the iud is 0.1% and sterilization has a faliure rate of 0.5% so its safer than surgery and ionce removed fertility resumes as if no birth control had been used

What does it mean when one of your clicks in your vaginia swell?

Many physicians wont recommend this type of birth control, and some have very strict standards as to whom they will give this too. You should definately check with your doctor and insurance, as to policy and coverage. My OB doesn't recommend for patients who are not married. The link below will give you information on comparing different forms of birth control.

Birth control pill question.?

One thing a lot of women don't know is that an IUD -can- work by preventing implantation of a fertilized egg/zygote/baby/(insert your choice of wording here). That's not how they -always- work, but it is -one- way they can work. So if you consider that morally problematic, you might want to look into other forms of birth control. (Most hormonal birth controls can do the same thing, btw.)

period and birth control?

I had one inserted earlier today (my first one). I've never given birth, which may be one reason why this has been tough for me. The insertion HURT. My uterus/cervix cramped up bigtime (and is still cramped up, hours later, although less than originally). My body reacted to the trauma by throwing up. They did an ultrasound to make sure it was in right (it was). It may be just my body's personal reaction, and I sure hope it goes away. Because the removal will likely be just as tough on me.

Yes, most insurance companies will cover it -- it's much cheaper for them to cover an IUD than to risk the costs associated with you getting pregnant. Cost varies, but could be up to $500.
