So, I don't know if I need a new doctor or what.
I'd say so. If you're aware of the risks (which are almost entirely associated with an increased risk of pelvic inflammatory disease, which is unlikely in the extreme to be a problem given your mutually monogamous relationship), there's no reason not to give you the form of birth control you prefer.
If you want me to recommend my GYN, who is an absolute joy and who gave me my IUD without an argument, just drop me an email.

Yup. My OB-gyn is pretty good about the IUD's. He says he can't understand why more women in monogamous relationships don't get them.
All the docs at work have these cute little IUD pins on their lab coats.
Man, I wish Lexapro did anything for my sleeping.

I think they prefer it if you've already given birth but there's no reason you can't have one despite that. I would talk to him about that. Totally your choice.
ImememeN, my mother just emailed to say they broke my sister-in-law's water on Friday, but nothing happened so they sent her home. Huh? I thought there was a risk of infection after 24 hours, not to mention the poor baby rattling around in there with no cushion. Weird. She's not even due till June 2, so I don't know why they broke her water in the first place.

Um. Yeah. I hope everything's okay, Amy.
I hope they know what they're doing, AmyLiz.
I'm assuming her OB knows what he's doing, but it sounds weird to me. It's her third child, too -- why the rush to break her water anyway?
I want to get an IUD.
Me, too. They're hella expensive, though.
I think my insurance company might cover them.
