Got my first one when I was 14 because of PCOS and issues with my period and other forms of BC. I really loved it so I got it taken out and replaced at 21 which was last June! I’ve had good experiences! Plus it gives me a peace of mind when I have sex. Because of my PCOS/PMOS I can’t really get my period and if I do they reallyyyyyyyy suck. The IUD helps me safely not get my period.
I have the mirena hormonal one! It’s not the best time getting it in but it’s so worth it in my opinion. I’ve heard that people who get the copper have more issues with it. Also the hormonal ones the hormones STAY in your uterus unlike the other forms of birth control! I didn’t do well with the pill at all, so that’s another reason I got the IUD
When I got it replaced my doctor gave me this pill to put up in my coochie the night before to help soften my cervix. She also offered stronger pain meds pill wise OR something to calm my nerves, I picked to calm my nerves. My doctor also numbed my cervix with a shot which someone I didn’t even feel. I was doped up on Valium tho😭 just make sure to advocate for yourself!
