birth control
"I actually really enjoy my IUD. I have had 2 for a total of 8 years now. 5 years for my first and now I'm 3 years into my new one. This format of contraception is such a liberating thing for women. It allows me to not worry wether or not I have my period, or when I'm choosing to be sexually active with my partner, you should always use a condom but I have that extra layer of security that I know I am safe. I am in control of my body and my choices. So it takes a certain comfort and peace of mind. I find it great for me, but that being said it is not for everyone.  And you should always speak with your doctor and do lots of research. Also, iI did want to say the one con I had was one of my partners feeling the strings and it hurting him."
