yes, thank you! My skyla IUD (lowest hormone available) lasted 9 months before I had to have it removed. I was constantly missing work because the pain and bleeding were pretty out of control. I had an ultrasound done to make sure it hadn’t grown into my uterus - nope. Just something that didn’t work for me, actually…

i appreciate this article, but i wish that jezebel would do a better job covering some of the potential risks of IUDs and different perspectives on the matter. because right now this coverage has really excluded large groups of women.
