THE NOVA T 380

This consists of a T shaped frame, about the length of a matchstick, made from polyethylene plastic around which fine copper wire with a silver core is wrapped thus taking bling to a new level! At the end are two fine nylon strings which are used to check it's in the right place and are used when you want it removed. The 380 refers to the 380mm2 surface area of the copper wire.

...Mr Jezebel going for the Nova T380 has been a good move! I'd recommend it to anyone who fits the medical criteria. By way of conclusion, here are some tips:

• Do expect a couple of months of unpredictable cramps and bleeding. Have panty liners in your bag at all times as it can come on unexpectedly! As I said however, in my mind it's worth a couple of months of feeling a bit under the weather in return for 5 years of hassle and ... more

Review of Nova T 380

Side effects

Strength

Care free contraception

Advantages: dont know it is there
Disadvantages: none as yet!!

...me tell you what the Nova t 380 is that might be a great start. About 5 years ago i had the Mirena coil fitted and did not get on with it at all basically it made me very spotty and moody and it also dislodged and i fell pregnant and lost the baby (so when i was looking in to contraception the Mirena was not a choice). I am 26 with 2 sons so was looking for basically a low maintenance contraceptive as i always used to forget the pill and lets be ...
...at a early stage. The Nova T380 releases copper into the womb i must add this is less copper that you consume in your diet in a day. It is such small amounts that it causes no risk what so ever. The statistics show that if you were to have the Nova in for 100 years you would have a 0.6 chance of fallen pregnant. What precautions are needed? Well to get a Nova fitted you will have to go and have a chat with your Dr first who will outline whether ...

Review of Nova T 380

Side effects

Its fixed me!!!

Advantages: No hormones, less pain
Disadvantages: heavier periods, slighltly painful insertion

...aloud hormonal contraceptive so a Nova T 380 which is non hormonal was my last chance at finding something that would solve all my problems. What is it? Well the IUD is a small T shaped device wrapped in copper which is used to prevent pregnancy, now the actual process of how it works is not completely known but it is believed that the copper repels sperm and thickens the walls of the uterus, which prevents pregnancy. It is normally prescribed ...
...be inserted into women who havn't been pregnant or had a vaginal birth (normally as a last resort like myself, im 21 and not had any children as of yet) The IUD lasts for 5 years a visit to the clinic is required at 6 weeks then again every 12 months until the 5th year where it is removed and replaced if desired. Im hoping to have it removed before this though so we can try for children. This process is meant to be quite simple you go to the clinic ...

Review of Nova T 380

Side effects

As near perfection as contraception gets

Advantages: 99.4% effective, doesn't interfere with sex or hormones, lasts 5 years, practically no hassle
Disadvantages: Tends to make periods a bit longer, heavier and/or more painful

I'm one of these people who simply cannot tolerate hormonal contraception, and since I'm severely disabled I absolutely cannot risk pregnancy either. Thankfully, there is a solution. Copper IUDs come in various shapes and sizes. I have a Nova-T380, which is the most popular IUD for women who have not had children. "Nova" is the brand, "T" describes the shape, and "380" means that it has a surface area of 380mm2 of copper. An IUD (standing for Intra-Uterine ...
...matchstick which sits in your uterus. It is made of plastic, with copper wire (with a silver core) wrapped around the upright part of it, and with two strings which hang down through your cervix. The strings are there so that it can be removed again, and it's advised to check them regularly in case of expulsion. The Nova-T380 lasts for 5 years, as do most models, though it's simple to remove earlier if required. It does not affect hormones in any ...

Review of Nova T 380

Side effects

T-Safe 380. IUD fitting and experience.

Advantages: No contraception worries for 10 years
Disadvantages: Not suitable for everyone

IUD FITTED: T-Safe 380 or known as the T-Safe Cu 380 Female - Age 30 - never been pregnant - Average to good health Well, what has prompted me to write this review, is reading about other peoples negative experiences with IUD's in general, and to try and balance out some of those 'horror stories'. After lots of research, I considered getting the IUD fitted was the best option for myself. Whilst condoms are great, (and obviously everyone should ...
...relationship) I do find them inconvenient. It's a common complaint from men, that condoms lessen the sensitivity - well, it lessons this woman's sensitivity also! I am in a committed monogamous relationship, so wanted a more convenient method. I don't mean to sound preachy, but before we got rid of the condoms, both myself and my partner had a full range of STD tests done, just to be sure. There is no shame in it, and it is the most sensible thing ...

Review of Nova T 380

Side effects

for convenience use the coil !!

Advantages: no more forgetting to take your pill
Disadvantages: possible chance of ectopic pregnancy

...I quickly had my Nova T 380 fitted and for the first couple of days I had some very slight period pains but nothing that bothered me enough to really think about it. And from then on I never had any problems, I had a six week check with my nurse and everything was fine. We then decided a few months later decided to have another baby so I called my nurse and she removed it within the next couple of days. I did worry that it may have affected my fertility ...
...my other kids first month of trying I was concerned but we had no problems and I fell straight away and am now 8 weeks pregnant with number 3 (must be completely mad!!!!) Anyway, as soon as number 3 is born I will be going straight back to the doctors to have another one fitted, it is so convenient. The one thing that I would suggest to anyone considering having one fitted is find out about the person that is going to be fitting it and if they have ...

IUD Nova-T 380 - Copper load of this!

Advantages: Don't have to worry about contraception
Disadvantages: Painful insertion (for me), heavy periods, prone to infections.

you may have to use condoms as well. If you get an infection when an IUD is in place this could lead to a pelvic infection if it is not treated. My Experience with an IUD. I was 21 when i had my IUD fitted. The reason i chose this method above all others is because i have found that i do not respond very well to any contraception that involves an increase in any hormone...in fact it makes me suicidal. I have to point out at this stage that i have had no children and the Doctor did say that due to this fact, my cervix would not be as "relaxed" as someone who had had a child and so it would be a little more difficult and painful to insert......boy was she right! The fitting: I went to have my IUD (Nova-T 380) fitted and i was very nervous because i had heard all sorts of horror stories about it. I should have been advised to take ...

Review of Mirena IUD (Intrauterine Device)

This rocks!

Advantages: Can pretty much forget about it, no interruptions, can't feel it, lasts 5 years
Disadvantages: Pain on insertion, doctor clearly thought I was odd not wanting the pill

I've got a copper IUD (Nova-T 380) rather than a hormonal one (also called an IUS), so some of what I'm saying only relates to copper IUDs. I got my IUD because I wanted something with less potential user error than condoms (or the pill), and didn't want to muck around with my hormones (and grow facial hair). An IUD is pretty much all that's left if you don't want to use condoms or hormones and are too lazy for fertility awareness methods. I have to say that my doctor obviously thought I was slightly strange for wanting one, but I didn't face any issues in getting one. (in the states for example it seems doctors are very reluctant to give them to younger people with no children; I was 22, no kids). I won't lie, the insertion hurt a fair bit, but the major insertion pain was over as soon as the insertion was, and the cramps I ...

Review of Mirena IUD (Intrauterine Device)

Works for some, but Depo + ME/CFS = hell

Advantages: Highly effective contraceptive, pretty much foolproof, not a hassle to use
Disadvantages: Nightmare side-effects, stays in your system for a very long time, put me into a wheelchair

because of my pre-existing medical condition. However, a contraceptive shouldn't aggravate other illnesses, and if it does you should be able to know about it in advance. Almost all research on contraceptives is conducted on healthy young women, with the drop-outs from the trials usually being ignored in the results, so unless you have one of a small number of medical conditions which has actually been researched with contraceptive use (e.g. Mirena for treating endometriosis), chances are that they simply do not know how they will interact. Depo lasts in your system a long time, so it's quite a risk if there's a chance it could make you ill. It's not like a pill you can stop taking immediately. I now have a copper IUD (see separate review for Nova-T380), which does not affect my hormones in the slightest, and I am very happy with it. ...
