Birth controle

Ok so in the late 1970s,this form of reversible contraception was used by nearly 10 percent of u.s. Women on birth control. But today, iuds are used by less than 2 percent of this u.s. Market despite being wildly popular overseas, particularly in...

developing nations.
The intrauterine device is a small—roughly 1 inch—plastic t inserted into the uterus that hampers the interaction and implantation of the sperm and egg. It has to be placed by a gynecologist, but once in, it's a practically foolproof method of birth control—99 percent effective—that can last up to 10 years. While daily or monthly forms of birth control can cost up to $60 a month, an iud is a one-time cost between $300 and $500—though it's often covered by insurance. There's nothing to remember to take (unlike the pill), put in (unlike the nuvaring), or take off (unlike the patch). And while efficacy studies suggest that the pill, patch, or ring are 99 percent effective in a clinical setting, real-life compliancy—like forgetting to take the pill at the same time every day—reduces its success rate. All that is a non issue for the iud: once in, it requires no maintenance for the length of the device. Perhaps best of all, it can be hormone-free, which is better for the environment and ideal for women prone to some of the negative effects of hormonal birth control, like weight gain, mood swings, acne, or high blood pressure. they seem like the perfect form of contraception: simple to use, long-lasting, reversible, hormone-free, and economical. So why not use it ?
Just thought I would point this out found it interesting

I had one.

It caused me to have excruciating cramps (not the ones you get just after having it put in), and it perforated my uterine wall, causing an infection.

It was the first, and last time I ever used it.
