[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is everyone recommending an iud for a teenager? Aren't they linked to all kinds of reproductive problems if used before a woman has ever been pregnant? [/quote] No, they are not. And the reason everyone is recommending an IUD for a teenager because long-acting reversible contraceptives (for example, an IUD) much more effective at preventing pregnancy among teenagers than short-acting contraceptives. http://www.acog.org/Resources-And-Publications/Committee-Opinions/Committee-on-Adolescent-Health-Care/Adolescents-and-Long-Acting-Reversible-Contraception.[/quote] Agree. My teen has one as do a number of her friends. [b]You know what they call parents of teenage daughters who are on BCP? Grandparents. [/b] Consider the IUD. Minimizes the risk of user error. [/quote]
