My IUD is one of my favorite things!! I have the Kyleena and don’t get my period anymore (though I think that’s less common with Kyleena and more with other brands). I truly didn’t know how anxious I was until I got it and feel light as a feather now that I don’t have to worry about pregnancy!!

Have you considered a medium-maintenance method, like a patch or ring? They might be a more comfortable switch to make.

I have heard the copper one (paraguard) makes your symptoms way worse but personally I have Mirena (hormonal) and she has made my life so much better in every way. way less symptoms and I skip periods often

my gyno said there’s an adjustment phase where it might make your periods more irregular or heavy but my friend said she felt like she had the flu each time she got her period and for that im kinda scared

the thought of not being pregnant OR not having to take a pill every day sounds amazing and is drawing me to try it. now i just wish they had a birth control type thing for stds. life would literally be perfect ✨
