IUD

An IUD is a form of birth control that is now highly recommended by doctors for young women not planning on having kids for a while. It is a device that sits in the base of the uterus and releases small amounts of hormones and is good for 3-12 years depending on the kind you get. They are great because there is no opportunities for user error. The process of getting one is a bit painful, but if you are considering it, consult your doctor.

Ella is sixteen, so she got an IUD to be safe from getting pregnant until she is ready.
