  I need help! Reply Contact Here's the deal.  I'm over 40 and do not plan on any more kiddos.  I had an IUD put in just after my second daughter was born (didn't want a tubal because I wasn't sure about a third child - now I'm sure there will be no 3rd - unless God has other plans for me, of course).  I've been dealing with the IUD for just over two years and I hate it.  I have the 10 year copper model.  I was a prime candidate for it and after the first four months it seemed to be fine.  Well, the last year has been a mess and I want it out.  I'm hesisitant to go on any hormonal contreceptives because I'm prone to depression.  What option does that leave me?  I'm not a fan of the diaphram or condoms.  DH is not ready for the big V.  I'm not sure I want to undergo a tubal since I've had two c-sections already.  Any suggestions I'm just not seeing?

You only have to remember to put it in once a month, it stays put, and didn't cause any of the mood swings the pills caused for me. Must have different hormones.
