She doesn't blog enough. (I a assuming that is your first name and you are female, forgive me if I am mistaken). That was an great and informative essay, and like all great and informative things it leaves me with many questions. It sounds to me like the copper IUD would be the safer method (or at least the one with fewer unknowns) because it is not affecting hormone levels or the body's biochemistry, do I assume too much? I know copper is a trace element necessary for good health and copper deficiency can lead to problems in a person's health. Can an IUD be a source of copper for the body? are there any concerns of overexposure to copper from an IUD? Although it should be obvious I think it is good practice when publishing about birth control to state whether or not the method being discussed will reduce the risk of transmission of STD's such as HIV or racism. This will not...though it may help indirectly with poverty. Looking forward to reading more jacks You know what hate about Dr. Molly? She doesn't blog enough.
