whoever said that that an iud is an abortive measure?:err: that is quite ridiculous. an iud is inserted into the uterus preventing sperm from entering. that is one of the contraceptive method to prevent pregnancy. u can check with your gynae to verify. im using the pills however cos im not comfortable having a foreign object in my body. but i still might consider iud one day...I am currently using an iud as means of preventing pregrancy. And I've heard that it is considered as an abortive measure. Can anyone provide info on this? And what are you gers using?
