Experience with IUDs?

Question

Thinking about getting an IUD- specifically Skyla. Would like to hear any good or bad experiences!

Answer

I have Skyla and I LOOOOOVE it. No periods, no babies. No weight gain.

Answer

I had the Mirena and had horrible side effects. I would get my period for 2 weeks every month, cramping every day. I was always tired. I gained about 25 pounds on it. Grew hair in strange places and barely had see drive. THEN I SWITCHED TO THE PARAGARD. Best desicion of my life. Though I get a heavy flow and painful cramps for the first 2 days, there's are no hormones and I get no side effects. I am happy and ZEROO complaints :)

Answer

I had the mirena but only for 3 months before I fell pregnant and miscarried so got it taken out. In that time I started getting genital cysts, severe headaches, acne, gained a tonne of weight and became a cranky moody bitch. I would never recommend an iud because they don't prevent ovulation and fertilization of the egg. Chemical pregnancies are very common because the iud prevents proper implantation by making the lining too thin but doesn't actually prevent conception.

Answer

I have the mirena and have had nothing but problems. Hopefully skyla is better. The mirena has moved pretty far from where it should be in the last 2 years and will be removed in the next month. I wouldn't advise getting any IUD but every person is different. I had a bad experience, doesn't mean you will. Just know the risks and if you feel like something is wrong, go to your doctor immediately.

Answer

I had both inserted . The non hormonal I removed it because out of 4 weeks Id bleed at least 3 ? and the mirena U loved it no pain on insertion ,was advised to take painkillers on prior to it . Worked great sometimes pain in sex but didn't  last as it came out during sex ?

Answer

I have paraguard. Hurt for insertion. Absolutely LOVE it. One small side effect I have experienced is cervical tenderness. But that's just my experience. Totally worth the price I paid!?

Answer

Had mirena 2x not too painful when inserted def bearable I LOVED my first one the second one I absolutely hated my only advice if you decide to get it is be patient and listen to your body if you feel it's not right tell your doctor def do research though good luck!

Answer

I have a friend who was that small percentage who was punctured by it- she's now infertile.

I am allergic to hormonal birth control of all types, but I won't try an IUD until after I have children because I don't want to test fate and be one of that small percentage.
