IUD stories from real women with real experience.
A woman’s choice in birth control is not only a deeply personal one, but often a political one, too. This was made infinitely clear to me at the end of 2016, when in the wake of the presidential election, women flocked to health care providers seeking long-acting reversible contraceptives , like IUDs and implants.
At the end of 2016, IUDs offered women a kind of security—one that was, frankly, in short supply. With one simple procedure, women could ensure that they had access to contraception for the next 3-12 years . No matter who the president was, which health care laws were overturned, or what anti-abortion bills made their way to Congress, these women could rest assured knowing their contraceptive situation was within their control.
“I had been on the Pill, but I always worked jobs with odd hours and would forget to take it.” “I had been on the pill in college and for a while after, but I always worked jobs with odd hours and would forget to take it. I also had a hard time remembering to pick up new pill packs from the pharmacy every few months. I tried the ring for about six months, but it made me feel super emotional, and I was put off when an ex-boyfriend mentioned that he could feel it when we were having sex.
“After one too many midnight runs to the pharmacy to get plan B, my boyfriend asked me to look into other options.” “I never used any sort of hormonal birth control before getting my IUD. I relied solely on condoms throughout all my relationships. After one too many midnight runs to the pharmacy to get Plan B, my boyfriend asked me to look into other options. I’d always been hesitant about getting on birth control.
“The IUD came highly recommended by one of my friends.” “I’d been dating someone for about five months when he brought up the topic of birth control and realized I wasn’t using any. I’d previously been on the pill, but it had a horrible effect on me, so I stopped using birth control altogether. After talking to my partner, I decided to re-explore my options. The IUD came highly recommended by one of my friends, so I talked to my gynecologist about it and got one.” —Shauna W.
