I swear I'm not trying to start a big backlash. I swear. I believe in being informed.
The IUD works by stopping the implantation of a fertilized egg. If you are Catholic or Pro Life and believe that life begins at conception, you may want to choose another form of birth control. I would encourage you to explore another method.

I can't chime in on using an IUD with hormones because I am vehemently against putting them in my body, especially directly into my uterus. I have a non-hormonal one. ^^ Ditto. Although I'm coming up on the 10-year anniversary of my Paragard next March. How much longer do you have on yours? Well now I'm going to have to check because I know we got ours within a year of each other...maybe 8 or 9 months even.

You are absolutely correct, the IUD and in particular the Paragard Copper T is an abortifacient. It will prevent the implantation of a fertilized egg. However, there's scientific research that also says the copper slows down the sperm and also aids in the prevention of fertilization. The Mirena IUD being hormonally-based should also prevent ovulation.

I have a baby girl born with one. (my regular doc did not deliver her so his partner was surprised in the delivery room). It was not one with hormones. I did not know back then that they were abortifacient or I would not have had one.

This is the only thing I think I can get. I wonder how much they cost in Canada. They are probably like $500 on an annual basis that isn't that much money but if I hate it then it's really expensive. I will talk to her next week when I see her. I CANNOT get pregnant. I am too old and too tired for a baby. Plus my other half doesn't want children but is tickled with the thought of getting a step son! I'm in Alberta. I paid for my IUD out of pocket but now my extended health care would have covered it. I believe I paid under $100.

Oh wow I am in BC and that's nothing. I thought it was going to be really expensive. Do you get an Rx for it and take it to the doctor to have it inserted?
