i seccond getting it checked out, i was offered it after having dd, but due to my history with hormonal contraceptives was advised its probably not the best option for me. a friend had it in and *tmi* complained to me about a discharge that was off smelling, went to the doc and was sent to the contraceptive docs at the hospital. not sure what happened after that, i didnt ask! but it would be safest to find out, even if you find out who makes it and send them a email or call? usualy the companies are great for things like that, no one could tell me the effects of having the cervical vax while pg, so i hunted down the company and the answerd all my questions as best they could!
