The IUD and my experience

I got my IUD back in May in 2016 and so far it's been really great. I got the Paraguard and my doctor said it should last till May in 2026 which is awesome because I'm not trying to get pregnant anytime soon I am only 19 years old. It actually works extremely well since my boyfriend and I don't always use condoms. The only downside of having it is the cramps, holy crap they hurt so bad. When I first got the IUD I got cramps before my period and I couldn't breath sometimes because it hurt so bad. There was some bleeding for a couple weeks after I got it but nothing anymore and my periods are a little bit longer but I can handle that because it's better than having a child when I'm not ready for one. Overall it's a way better choice for me than birth control, I've been on that before and since I already have depression it made it worse and I was ready to commit suicide. I recommend the IUD to anyone who is looking for contraceptive.
