"i have tried the pill, the patch, nuvaring, patch and the depo shot. i have to say the iud has been my favorite! i did like the depo a lot but i broke out with a lot of acne all over my face. i never had acne as a teenager so getting it as an adult was torture and humiliating. i had to see a dermatologist and get on accutane. i then got the iud in may 2011. i was nervous after reading reviews but decided i&#039;d give it a shot anyway. getting it inserted, i didn&#039;t realize how badly it hurt...after 30 days it felt great! i did have to get it trimmed once since my husband did hit it a few times. other than that i highly recommend it. best birth control i&#039;ve tried by far! give it a chance :)"
