Want to answer more questions in the Sexual Health and Reproduction category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Birth Control Pills?
I'd like to add more about the IUD. There are now two kinds. The original which I used, is a copper IUD. The more recent on the market has hormones just like all the other hormone based birth control methods you've used.
I was a virgin and had it put in right before I got married. I felt a twinge of pain but that pain was nothing compared to the period cramps I used to get. Everyones different.
Heres the benefits: While it is more cost up front at once than the ones you've used, its a one time cost and it can last up to 10 years unless they have changed it some. If you split the bigger cost down to the number of months and total years you have it in, the cost will be lots less than what it is now.
It makes for carefree sex. It has a better rating than all the other birth controls in preventing pregnancy.
Few people ever have any side effects.
You still get a normal period so your reproductive system is not messed up as with hormonal contraceptives. Once it is taken out, you can try for children immediately unlike with the others where your bodys natural cycle may be messed up and you have to wait for all of it to leave your system.
So how does it work? The copper that is released is not harmful to you but makes your uterine lining too slippery for the egg to attach and you are not pregnant until it can attach. This is how long ago before modern contraception, the old medicine women provided flowers or seed of the wild carrot for a tea to prevent contraception. Thats a hassle because the tea has to be taken daily to give the same effect, making the uterus too slippery for egg to attach and it wasn't as good as copper.
Heres a link to Paragard, the name of the copper IUD. I suggest you ask the Dr. about it. Mine mentioned the stuff about pain of insertion. I insisted I wanted it cus my Mom had used one and said it was the best. Inserting wasn't painful actually. Didn't feel the twinges until after.

Have you considered and IUD. If you have not been pregnant it may be a bit painful to have placed. Though it is an option you should discuss with you GYN.
My wife had an IUD before she had it removed and our son was born. It worked really well. For several of our friends it is their main form of birth control.
