ORIGINAL: juliaoceania I have this IUD http://www.mirena-us.com/index.html?c=S1&WT.srch=1 It is plastic, it has a hormonal component, it lasts for 5 years. It was rather painful to get inserted. I was told there would be some "discomfort", I went slightly into shock from the pain, but you know, it was over fairly quickly. I can feel the string, which is soft, and I like this because I can check the placement. I have had two partners since it was inserted, neither could feel it. I have cramps intermittantly, but there are health bennies from it too. My Daddy has had a vasectomy, so he cannot get me pregnant anyways, but I have kept it. I keep it because it makes my periods extremely light, and I skip them sometimes. Before the IUD I was having two periods a month sometimes, and harsher periods than normal. Now I do not have that problem.... so a few cramps here and there are nothing like having bad cramps twice a month. I love my IUD, and I will probably get another when this one's time is up. It just is easier for me not to deal with hard periods. I have had it fir going on three years. Another draw back, if you contract an STD, it can quickly lead to a profound infection that can be life threatening, so it is not for people who are not mono.... just sayin. Only thing I can tell you about play, I probably would skip a hard fisting or something like that, and I would ask a kink friendly doctor about what maybe risky... I just had this one put in place yesterday at my doctor visit. I started using the depo shot right after my last child was born. Finally stopped using it a little over a year ago, so 16 years of depo. I would not suggest to anyone to use the depo, in fact, i'd plead for them to stay away from it. When I got off the depo, and this is the reason I started seeing another doc....my period came back with a vengence! I was having a period every 2 weeks, for 3 weeks at a time. Cramps were virtually unbarable and clots big enough to fill a messuring cup. When my gf found out about this in February, she called a doc and they put me in the hospital. He put me on some birth control pills for the next two month for hormone treatment and to regulate me, yesterday..he put in the mirena. Yes, it did hurt a bit going in, and I had minor cramping the rest of the day. But at least I am getting back to normal. I actually feel prety good today. He also told me with this thing, chances are...my period will end again...which is fine by me....but it won't have the weight gain that the depo shot caused. So I would ask ya hun, thinking of my own experience...DON'T DO THE DEPO! Think Marena.
