How much did you spend 在美国上环? I already took it 3 and a half years. my mother tell me that "上环" can use five years. and I think I have to remove it. but I don't know its english name. How to make an appointment?

thanks

Thanks. I will call them. I do IUD in china, and doctor said I'd better to remove it after 5 years.

after I take it, sometimes 痛经(before menstrual cycle)、流量大(especially first two days). Do you have same feeling?

those are typical side effects of IUD and that is why I didn't do it.

是啊，有时候觉得那些老观念还是对的。我妈当时真的象坐月子一样的严格要求我，不能喝冷水，不能喝茶，头几天不能洗头洗澡，还有好些东西不能吃，我现在都忘了。。。

也就头一两年这样要求我，后来我大些了，她也管不住了

第一次用最好选择量多的时候，这样比较容易放进去，成功后比较有信心，慢慢的就很熟练了。

小丸第一次试用丹碧丝还是初中的时候，那时候例假特别多，要去夏令营，用pad肯定要出事，可是很不幸，丹碧丝没有用成功，还对它有了很强的抵触情绪，当然夏令营的时候简直是一团糟。

直到到美国之后又一次对pad严重过敏，可怕得不行，去看了医生，医生说可以试试看棉条。那时候是走投无路，只好硬着头皮试，废掉几根之后，还是成功了。后来就习惯用棉条了。

A friend has told me about this when I was in university.

But some people think it is not reasonable. Because it is said that clearn is important at the period.

I do not know which is right

还有，偶这辈子基本没经历过痛经的苦，回头想想真要感谢妈妈当时强迫我遵守的条条框框

痛经跟个人体质还有遗传有很大关系的吧。

小丸有个朋友每次例假都是疼的打滚，可是她们家一项规矩特别严，她一直都被迫很遵守条条框框的。直到她结婚一段时间发现没有办法怀孕才去检查，结果是子宫内膜错位之内的问题，做了手术之后完全解决了痛经的问题，而且现在孩子都满地跑了

小丸以前例假有两天有些疼，还算好，但是量有些多。后来开始用birth control pill之后例假变得非常regular，量也少了，也不怎么疼了
