[quote=Anonymous]I have had my IUD for 11 months.

I still have periods, but they are irregular, and seem to last for almost 2 weeks when they do happen. But sometimes it will seem like I don't have a period for over a month. They are light, I can usually keep everything in check with liners, sometimes regulars, but never need anything more than that.
I do have pretty bad cramping at times where I need to lay down for a little bit, but it passes, as all cramps do. But that is a side effect I'm willing to take to never have to worry about taking birth control or worry about getting pregnant, FOR YEARS.

Speaking from personal experience, it is best to have a child before you have one inserted, for pain's sake. When mine was put in I literally didn't even feel it. I had gotten myself so worked up from all the things I read online I expected it to hurt. But I laid there and stared at the ceiling and she was done and I didn't even realize. I had it put in about 2 months after I gave birth, vaginally, to a 10 pound baby. So, that could also have had a significant effect on why I couldn't feel it haha.

At the beginning my husband had a lot of discomfort with intercourse, he said he could feel it. So, I went back and another doctor checked it and said the doctor who had inserted it left the strings too long, so she cut them shorter and that was the end of that. But, she also said the strings soften over time (they are a plastic-like material).

Anyway, I would recommend it to anyone, but that doesn't mean it will be for everyone. 
Do not believe every bad story you read online, if it were really a terrible product then so many people wouldn't have it. But, remember that it might not work for you. But just because it didn't work for you doesn't mean you have to go scare everyone silly and tell them to never get it, that's foolish, and I'm seeing that a lot here.[/quote]
