Nope, you're right.
IUD is the coil made of copper, IUS is the plastic version full of spunk-rejection hormones.

Total fuckers to have inserted, but then again it lasts 5 years, so I think it's worth the half hour of hideous pain and few subsequent hours of discomfort.

Basically, yes.
No remembering to take pills, and no expense (free on the NHS)

I'm very good at remembering to take the pill so I'd rather not go through the pain.
Plus now my eggs will be all manky and shriveled.

No way
Some women's bodies (ie mine and three of my friends') reject them violently, and the hours of pain and profuse bleeding go on until you have the fucker taken out.
Be careful.

This is my second
(first taken out, second whipped straight in).
It hurt like bejeezus, but it's ok now. I'm also self-medicating with lots of wine, so feeling a lot better than I did 5 hours ago...
