"This won't hurt a bit" - Yeah right.

We're definitely done at two babies. Good luck with deciding if you're going for three! :)

I'll say this: Inserting the IUD was less stressful than removing it while pregnant.

I do think it's a great option when you're not 100% sure. As for my situation - well, que sera sera!

Leaving your options
open until 'sure' makes sense.
Happy Mother's Day!

Hugs and blessings,

I've always wondered if an IUD hurt. Not that I want one, I still want lots more kids, but my neighbor is thinking about one (she just had her 4th baby) and she was worried about the pain.

So much more than a pinch, eh? Yikes.

Glad to hear you're leaving the option open just in case. It's tough to make a decision if you're not 1000% sure.

Good for you for not jumping the gun. Now you have 5 years to be at peace with your decision. Yeah, after my 32 hour labor I almost asked to have my tubes tied! So glad I didn't!

it's nice to have options. My husband was going to get the V, but he was procrastinating and surprise along came baby #4. Now we are done, and i have done something more permanent!

I am thinking about something similar... The last thing I could handle at the moment is another pregnancy!

2008-05-09T08:32:00.000-04:00

My doc recently recommended an IUD but we are still trying to decide whether even to take that temporary step right now or to let nature take its course. Good to know it's not a painless process; guess that fits, since I am finding that the decision is not painless either.

On a lighter note, I got through some writer's block by putting my thoughts in haiku form first, so thanks!

2008-05-09T08:27:00.000-04:00

This story could be my own except I haven't been in for the IUD just yet. We were going to do the snip snip, too, but I think I am too young to forego any big decisions about babies yet.

Easy birth control... you can't beat it!

2008-05-09T06:50:00.000-04:00

If you have even 5% doubt, I think you did the right thing. *hugs*

We are in the same boat. We only ordered one more after Jake, but surprise we ended up with twins. We're holding off on something permanent because hey, you never know, we could win the lottery someday, become millionaires and then could afford more children, right? The same thing could happen to you!!

I think that is so smart. I have so many friends ...

2008-05-09T06:36:00.000-04:00

I think that is so smart. I have so many friends that rushed into doing something permanent, and then had to find a rug big enough to sweep their regrets under. Conversely, I know lots of people who by design, or by surprise had a baby they didn't know they were planning for, and I've never met one who regretted it. Even last night, at my ripe old age of 42, I was telling my husband I've been having thoughts of jumping off the BC trail and "just seeing what happens". Of course, even with my fertility problems, we have two little "see what happens", so we probably won't! LOL.

2008-05-09T05:31:00.000-04:00

oh my. it seems i hit enter alot, not on purpose mind you. and i now have three entries - when, really, one will do me.

had my tubes tide for medical reasons, but am so glad i did. no more worrying and no more temptation. we've got our fill!

2008-05-09T05:23:00.000-04:00

Ow. Pain is not my friend either. Wishing you all the best. And happy Mother's day!

Ouch! That sounds like a painful experience. :(

2008-05-09T01:56:00.000-04:00

I can't imagine ever being sure - permanent decisions make me feel all itchy. ;-)

I had an IUD and LOVED it! good luck.

I am soo happy with my IUD. I had one previously, too.

The only problem? Um, yeah - that pinch is NO FUN. Then? It's all good!

2008-05-08T23:54:00.000-04:00

I'm soooo there. I'm pretty sure I don't want any more monkeys, but that final step is a doozy.

Pretty ironic 'ku for the weekend, is it not? :)
