Do you have it?
A friend have it?
What have you heard?
If you have it do you like it?
Did you love/hate it? Why?
Did it effect your breastfeeding?

I need all the dirty details

    I had it after my first, got it put in at my 6wk check up with just mild discomfort for a couple days after. I wasn't breastfeeding so can't speak to that. My periods weren't bad at all with it. I loved it and would've got it again, but we opted to have DH get a vasectomy instead. ETA: I got pregnant with DD 2 months after removing it

    I had it before I had kids. I wanted to be on birth control but needed to be off hormones. I really wanted to like it. I couldn't feel it and loved not ever having to think about it. But, my periods were so heavy. Would come every 30 days or so, last for 7 days but they were so heavy I would go through a super tampon in less than an hour. Eventually it made me really anemic since I was bleeding so much and I had to have it taken out.

    I love it. Had it for 4 years after DS and just got it back in after DD.

    This was my exact experience.

    I just made my appointment to have it inserted. I texted my husband to let him know and he texted me back "It's an early Christmas present"

    He hates condoms. Can't seem to 'get it done', if ya know what I mean...

    Don't tell him I said that

    I've only had it for 5 days but it hasn't affected BFing so far.  They did say about the possibility of heavier periods, and that if I were to end up pregnant while having it in, the chances of a tubal pregnancy are really high.
