IUD or implant ?

Question

Hey everyone :😊
So I have been using birth control pills for more than a year and I am not happy about it for a number of reasons and I want to change for something else.
I know there is the IUD and the implant, and that there are different types of IUDs. 
Any advice/personal experience with any of these?
Thanks 😊

Answer

I had the Mirena IUD and it was wonderful for me! Only birth control that didn't have a negative reaction for me. My teen daughter had the Nexplanon implant and it messed with her hormones, made her depressed and then they had to dig it out of her arm so she has a scar now. Everything has its side effects so you won't really know until you try

Answer

I would not recommend an IUD I've known plenty of women ( including myself) who have had horrific complications in which were not worth putting our bodies at risk. I currently have the Nexplanon Implant and it works amazing for me! Of course everyone's body is different but I'd recommend using the implant before you move to the IUD just incase.

Answer

Definitely go with an ID it's the best decision I ever made I previously had the implant it was hell I had my period for 1 year and 3 months I finally had enough of having my period so I changed method and got the. Mirena IUD I love. It I got it 3 weeks ago and my period instantly went away

Answer

I'm currently trying to decide this myself. I've had the copper iud but it fell out possibly being too big since I haven't had kids yet. I had a traumatizing experience where the insertion process took an hour! It's not supposed to take more than 5 to 10 mins. I am going to a different doctor if I decide to get another one. If I do an iud again I will be doing a smaller one for women who haven't had kids yet. However the arm implant is appealing I am just nervous about weight gain on it. I still recommend an iud I loved not taking the pill daily. I didn't have side effects besides my periods being a little heavier but that's expected on the non hormonal iud. Are you leaning more one way or another between an iud and the implant? I'm on the fence.
