H.F.
I got an IUD inserted at my 6-week follow-up appointment (back in Jan.) and have had no problems with it. She did cut the strings shorter than she should have so I had an ultrasound 4 weeks later to be sure it was in the correct place (which it was). I haven't had an "actual" period- just a week of spotting- which I love! I went for my annual check-up in July and she said all is well. I would highly recommend it because it is so worry-free and not permanent (we don't want any more children but since I'm under 30, my doctor wanted me to wait a year for us to do a permanent surgery). If my periods stay this way, I may just replace it in 5 years! I have a Mirena IUD and went to their website to research it first, which answered so many questions. Hope this helps!
