What is IUD? An IUD is a tiny device and form of contraception method that your doctor can insert into your uterus to prevent any possible pregnancy. You must have heard too much talk about it. Your friends and the people you are too generous to share their experiences with IUD.

Some are saying that’s too painful when you have it inserted while others say that you won’t even notice it or feels it. Others will make the picture even much clearer and say you will smell like metal and the list goes on and on. Of course, you don’t wanna listen to all this.

You’d better seek a gynecologist who will explain it all to you. So far, IUD is considered to be the most effective birth control method and the most expensive one too, says Jun, adding that this contraception method is perfect for those women who are forgetful or those who cannot bear the daily nuisance of taking pills on time. Moreover, IUD can effectively reduce the amount of bleeding and cramping.

#5 – Not using the right condom for you

Even if you are using a condom, this doesn’t necessarily mean you’re safe. Why? Well, not using the right condom or very simply not properly using it can lead you to unwanted pregnancies. Unfortunately, not so many people know that!

According to Dr. Ronald D, lubricants, for instance, are important as they can provide you with a safe sex, prevent pain during the intercourse, and most importantly, help prevent the condom from tearing. But certain lubricants can be counterproductive to birth control if not chosen properly. You see! you might not have the protection that you think you have!

Not only lubricants that must be chosen carefully but condoms too. If the latter is too small, it will likely break during the intercourse and risk pregnancy and the same results are expected when the condom is too big, as it can easily fall off without you even realizing it, adds Blatt, the chief surgeon and medical director at the Manhattan Center for Vaginal Surgery.
