As a birthday present to myself I was able to get the birth control contraceptive of my dreams – the ParaGard copper IUD.

Before I went into the procedure I took a quick video of my thoughts about the non-hormonal IUD and the troubles I went through just to get it. Since I’ve use numerous birth control methods, I am so glad I was finally able to get this IUD as an alternative to female sterilization!

Please let me know what you think about my first vlog or your thoughts about the IUD contraceptive in the comments. I’d love to know your troubles with getting an IUD as a childfree person. :o)

I would rather be responsible for being on birth control then believing the guy is doing everything right. Since I would be the one having to deal with the “mistake” I’d rather prevent any mistakes before they start.

The types of birth control I’ve practiced varies:

• The Pill (Yaz, Ortho Tri-cyclen Lo, Loestrin)
• The NuvaRing
• A diaphragm
• Birth control patch
• Female condom / male condom
• Coitus Interruptus

And I refuse to use the shot or the implants. eww creepy

The type of birth control I really want to use is to have an IUD.  But because of my age and the fact that I never had given birth, the people at Planned Parenthood don’t really want me to use it.  And that makes me very sad…they don’t want to make me happy. Maybe I should give them an ultimatum; either give me ParaGard or Sterilize me permanently. Then we’ll see what they say. muahaha
