On Intra Uterine Devices. Does anyone use one? If so what is your take on it?

An intrauterine device, aka IUD, is a small "T-shaped" device made of flexible plastic, which is inserted into a women's uterus (by a physician or health practitioner) to prevent pregnancy. Presently, there are two IUD brands approved by the US Food and Drug Administration and they are called ParaGard and Mirena. (Mirena is the brand most commonly advertised on TV, lately.) Mirena mirena.com/html/index.html works by releasing a small amount of progestin, a hormone.

It is effective for five years and Mirena can be used consecutively. (That is, after five years, another can be immediately inserted again.) Mirena is effective the instant it is inserted. One major benefit of Mirena is that the progestin often causes women to experience shorter, less frequent periods over time.

ParaGard http://www.paragard.com/home.php has been available in the United States for more than 20 years. Once inserted, it is effective for up to 10 years. Of note, ParaGard contains some copper (but no latex), but because it doesn't use a hormone, like Mirena, it has no effect on the menstrual cycle.

Of note, Planned Parenthood reports that ParaGard may actually increase menstrual flow. http://www.plannedparenthood.org/health-topics/birth-control/iud-4245.htm An IUD is one of the most effective birth control options (along with sterilization) because there is no risk for human error. With the pill, if you forget to take it, your risk of accidental pregnancy goes up.

An IUD provides constant pregnancy protection. Further, if you decide you do want children, an IUD can be removed and pregnancy attempts can be started without delay. (Of course, an IUD does not protect against STDs or AIDS, so condoms are still necessary with unfamiliar partners.

) IUDs are also cost effective, usually covered by insurance. Once inserted, they is no monthly cost, nor monthly trips to the drug store to pick up a prescription. A physician will check the positioning of the IUD, annually during a patient's annual OB/GYN check up.

IUDs do not interfere with tampons and cannot be felt during sex. They are an excellent birth control option.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
