Has anyone not have children and used an IUD? I'm 21 and I'm considering getting it...?
Answers: My mother got pregnant using an IUD...the element was deliver with my sister. My mother afterwards went on to enjoy a normal pregnancy 5 years after that. So to answer your grill, yes, you can get pregnant after using an IUD, but you can also carry pregnant WHILE using an IUD.
I had both types of IUD, and I didn't WANT to hold sex, so pregnancy was a no-brainer.
If however you're asking if you can own one inserted without ever have been pregnant, after you may find that somewhat difficult. Many doctors will not insert an IUD unless you've had at smallest one full-term pregnancy, because nulliparous women have a much high incidence of IUD related complications including spontaneous expulsions, and uterine perforations.
I'm pretty sure your doctor won't permit you get an IUD if you haven't have kids yet. Why not purely do the pill or the patch? i got pregnant while on the iud.
Why would you do that? The IUD poses risks of scarring of the uterus, possibly cause problems with infertility. Most doctors will not see you as an great candidate for an IUD. Typical candidate have 1 or more children, and are surrounded by a long term relationship. If you are single consequently I would not recommend even trying to get one, because if you are have more than one partner, you can be putting yourself at risk of Pelvic Inflammatory Infection among other things. If I were you, I'd discuss to your doctor about other option.
Most docs wont let you seize it. I tried, and they said because I hadnt had children I should own it due to the fact that my uterus be not stretched out. I was kinda pissed, make happen I knew I didnt want kids for relatively sometime, but I also didnt want them to perpherate my uterus either! Oh, that would be my choice too. I be really surprised to hear it recommended because of the bad reputation of the elder coils, but that's old history immediately. The new type is suitable for most of us who know we don't want children within the next few years, and save taking a pill every day.
My doctor say the new one (Mirena) is hugely popular near Irish women, even if I haven't had children. It sounds resembling a big improvement. She uses it herself, it works fine, and tell me to expect that you'll bleed for a week & then stop, which is particularly convenient. Plus it's totally reversible later on, if/when you do want to plan on have a child. I'm convinced it's the best option for me, and own made an appointment to get it.
Best of luck near your choices, (& don't forget you'll still need condoms for protection).
Yes, it's risk-free, but you have to be surrounded by a long-term, monogamous relationship. Otherwise, your chances of getting STDs will travel up with an IUD inserted. Older IUDs have a higher risk of infections that could front to infertility, but the newer ones are much less plausible to cause them.
Women who've never be pregnant used to be prohibited from getting an IUD, but that's been set aside. Women who've be pregnant at least once are smaller number likely to expel the IUD, though, and an IUD is more difficult to insert within a woman who hasn't been pregnant.
"Recent evidence indicates that IUDs are extremely safe and sound and effective for both parous and nulliparous women."

I'm childless, and I have a Mirena IUD for a year. I liked it at first. I have light period six weeks apart. It gave me a pelvic infection, though, and I have it removed. The Mirena can cause solidity gain, lower libido, and mood changes, and some women can`t bear the thing. If a woman have one inserted and dislikes it, removal is usually a simple process.
There's also a nonhormonal IUD, the ParaGard. It causes heavier bleeding and cramping, though.
There are masses other birth control methods which a doctor may encourage you to try up to that time getting an IUD: the Pill, NuvaRing, a vaginal ring you replace once a month, or condoms and foam spermicide, to name a few. Explore the option, and then consult a gynecologist or a clinician at Planned Parenthood. Some doctors won't provide a young woman an IUD, but Planned Parenthood is more moderate about it.
ETA: womenanswers.org is acting up, and the links won't work. If you move about to www.rxlist.com you can look up the Mirena, and if you go to www.contracept.org you can look up the ParaGard. www.plannedparenthood.org have a link to birth control option.
I've had the Paragard IUD for 10.6 years. It's time to hold it removed.
The IUD is one of the most effective forms of birth control available... 99.4% potent.
The FDA has approved hormone-free ParaGard(R) for women throughout their entire reproductive lives - from age 16 until menopause.
Some doctors will insert an IUD into a childless woman, others won't.
Good luck contained by your quest for the perfect birth control.
Because of the increased risk for expelling the device and because nearby is a VERY SLIGHT risk of damage to the uterus or ectopic pregnancy subsequently IUDs are not recommended for women who haven't have at least one child. That said, some doctors are still ready to give you an IUD as long as you take to mean the potential risks (which are extremely minor) and have a solid argument against other forms of birth control.
Even though I've never have children my doctor was blissful to give me a IUD, specifically the copper base one because I can't have anything near hormones in it. She said that the IUDs in a minute are much safer than the old coils but most relations don't understand how the device have changed over the years to be more effective and smaller number risky. She also told me that regardless of the official recommendation, it's up to each individual doctor whether they are ready to give a woman an IUD if she hasn't have at least one child.
All of that aside, I do want you to consider whether you're thinking in the order of an IUD because you're in a long permanent status, stable relationship and don't want to have to be constantly thinking roughly speaking birth control or if it's birth control for the sake of being on birth control "simply in suitcase." Even doctors that would be happy to present you an IUD will probably change their mind base on what kind of relationship you are or are not because the route the device is made actually leaves you more susceptible to STDs.
But again, the best point to do is talk to your doctor and find out if they're inclined to give you one. It's not a decree that you have to enjoy kids, but there are doctors that treat it that agency so the oly thing you can do is ask.
I have the copper IUD device fitted and I had it removed after six months.
The copper surrounded by the coil effected the facing of my womb ( or so I was told ) and impelled me to have really indigestible and prolonged periods. I do not recommend this type of coil. When I have this coil removed I had the Mirena hormonal IUS inserted within its place and my periods hold virtually stopped. xx
