I'm 22 and have never had any children. I have had an paraguard (copper) iud for about 2.5 years. I'd say if you are forgetful, it's smart, but it's not fun during periods, because of the 7 day heavy periods and heavy cramping really sucks, but I'd rather have that once a week every month than have to keep track of pills. I would have got the hormone iud, but I didn't because they say periods might go away, and I believe periods are healthy and good indicators for possible pregnancy. Plus, I figured the less hormones the better. With either of the IUDs, the insertion is horrible, and the cramps last for 2—3 hours after, but then you are good to go for 10 (copper) or 5 (paraguard) years. I figured, hey I'm a busy working college student, I don't need one more thing to remember lead alone a pregnancy because of my forgetfulness. For me, it is totally worth it, and from what I've read, it is easier to get pregnant after birth control ( when you're trying) if you don't have a hormone iud.
Hope that helps!
