I'm going to get the coil..i haven't used any other contraception like the pill, do you have to use the pill first?

No you dont. : There are 2 iuds available in the us. Paragard is a 10 year option and Mirena (levonorgestrel) is a 5 year option. I recommend Mirena (levonorgestrel) 99 percent of the time due to its bleeding profile. It is much better in my opinion.

Can my constant bleeding be more than a contraception issue. I had my last baby on 11-17-2011. It is now 3-31-2012 and i'm still bleeding. First, i was on the pill then i switched to the Depo-Provera shot. My second shot is scheduled between 4-12 to 4-26.
