IUDs always weirded me out. And my boyfriend is uncircumcised which means he is very sensitive on the head of his penis and so I was worried about the effect of the "fishing line" that comes down out of the IUD. I think it would irritate him.

I would suggest checking out the birthcontrol community on LJ--they rock and have a great memory section. those ladies know EVERYTHING.

Why would IUD cause weight gain? Aren't they non-hormonal? Well I guess some versions are hormonal and some aren't. Why would a non-hormonal BC cause weight gain?

well, one type is hormonal, the other is not. the one that isn't is an old version that involves copper.

also, from what i understand, the tiny string that comes down isn't something your boyfriend would feel during sex.

I've heard some people say their boyfriends could feel it.

i'm talking to my doc. she said i was a good candidate. i've been thinking of this for a long time.

lea: can stevan feel the string that is attached when you have sex?

Not at all. I think it's rare, but sometimes partners can feel them, but I've never had that happen.
