Really struggling trying to decide which type of IUD to get . I'm on the depo for 3 months now , and my current period has lasted for a whole month . I can't take it I'm definitely switching bc just in case this might happen again , A STRAIGHT MONTH ON MY PERIOD -____- So anyway , the copper is the one I'm leaning towards , since the other one has "irregular periods" as a possible side effect , and that's the reason why I want to switch off of the depo in the first place . So if anyone has any experience on an IUD , which one would you prefer , and what side effects did you have to deal with ? My next bc appointment is the 16th so I have to decide asap
the mirena lasts up to 5 years but you can get it taken out whenever you want. Also you eventually just don't get your period at all (My favorite part lol)
@reaganmommy2015, I wasn't on my period. They put it in 6 week PP. and @angelinasmommy1016 besides the light bleeding afterwards, no side effects!
@reaganmommy2015 @wisconsinmom did you guys have any side effects
I also had the mirena IUD and it was very uncomfortable when they put it in a lot of pressure but they had to do it twice cause the first one didn't take. Plus you have to be on your period when they put it in. As well as your good to have sex that day which worked for me
the insert it in you at the OB/GYN. Not going to lie, it was uncomfortable when they inserted it and I bled for 3 days afterwards (light bleeding though, was no big deal) and I haven't had a problem since!
@wisconsinmom how did you get it ? at the doctors or did you buy it
I'm looking for some FEEDBACK on birthcontrol. I just had a baby 3 weeks ago and my midwife suggested the IUD. I've heard mixed reviews. I'm thinking maybe the NuvaRing, IUD, or Implanon. What are you on? Looking for experiences and side effects that you dealt with from B.C.?
who has tried or is on the copper IUD. Did you like it? Did it work well? Side effects?
Any opinions on the birth control implant that goes in your arm , supposed to last for 3 years ? I'm gonna get it but the lady at planned parenthood told me I have to try out the depo shot for 6 months first to see if I'm okay with the side effects , since the side effects are relatively the same , and they don't want to do surgery to take it out if I don't like it . So I'm stuck with the depo for now lol

How Long Were Your Periods With The IUD?
depo
Ok so my sister whos normally fairly skinny has been asking to get on the depo shot with her her son is 6months and she wants to switch off her bc and get back on the depo shot since it made her loose weigh before. But me im on the fluffier side and wanted to know how the depo shot affected ppl who arent suoer skinny to begin with. Did it make them gain weight or have anxeity/depression issues?
but my OB said that like once a month when you should be getting your period, you might experience a little cramping or breakouts which I think is no big deal
