No, I really don't want kids. But the thing about this is that it can be removed at any time if I ever changed my mind. There's a slightly increased chance of PID (pelvic inflammatory disease) if you have an IUD and have multiple partners or partners with STDs, and PID can cause infertility. So this Dr. had said she would only insert if I didn't want kids, just because of that extra risk.
The other kind (Paragard) is for 10 years, but it doesn't decrease your period like this one does. I'm all about very light to nonexistant periods.
