A member asked:
Is an iud a good birth control option for me? i'm a married, childless woman with endometriosis and do crossfit 5x a week.

Yes: A skilled gynecologist should be able to insert an IUD (like Mirena) with minimal pain, and safely. This is a good treatment for endometriosis, and the IUD will not affect your Crossfit. You might feel like taking the day off from Crossfit for insertion, though.

Can birth control effect your sex drive? Is the IUD a better/safer method than the pill? I'm not under any stress and I'm happily married.
