V.B.
I was in a similar situation. I am 26 with 3 boys and divorced. I do not want to get fixed incase I do remarry and decide to have more kids, but at the same time I have had bad reactions to the bc I have been on (pills, shots, patches, rings, hormones). I have the non hormonal IUD which can stay in place for 10 years. I have only had it since December, and I am really enjoying it. My doctor said that I need to keep it in for at LEAST one year, but I can have it removed any time after that.
My only problem is that my period are not very regular (every 6 weeks I get it for a week, or when I am stressed), but that is the way I have ALWAYS been.....I know with the hormonal IUD it does regulate you, but I don't handle the extra hormones very well. Good luck to you and I wish you the best with any decision you choose!
