Tee-hee-hee (about the metal detector..)
Yeah--
It's actually great so far aside from the hormonal aspect. Why all women don't consider one instead of the pill, I don't know. Maybe it's too permanent for them.I think that my ob/gyn likes to use a particular kind of IUD that releases progestin into the uterus instead of the copper type. I'm not sure why...maybe kick-backs....maybe it is more effective? She didn't even offer any other type. I would cringe about having to go through the installation part again...oh the cramps! the dizziness...wanting to puke!
Hopefully I will get used to the hormone and my mood will stop bobbling all over the place. I do remember being pretty depressed when I started the pill several years ago (when I was undiagnosed). But it did go away, I think.
Thanks for the replies, ladies!
