People with IUDs (copper or hormonal) how do you deal with the anxiety of the potential shift in position in the uterus that may result in pregnancy?

I so want to get 1 however I’m terrified because then I’m not really in control like I’m with the pill

I love my Mirena. And keep in mind that IUDs are one of the most effective methods of birth control. One thing that might help with you feeling anxious about it is routinely checking for your strings (however sometimes they wrap around your cervix and can be hard to feel).

That's typically quite rare

I get an ultrassound done every 6 months to see and it’s always in place. In the beginning I was anxious but then when I saw it was always in place it became less of a concern
