Hey ladies - so I might be going on birth control pretty soon but I really don't want to go on the pill. I am super super bad with keeping a routine and I fear I'll forget to take a pill and I don't want to mess up my hormones and all the effects I have heard of for taking a pill late. I have a heavy flow and get really bad cramps. I figured going on BC will help w the period and of course help keep a baby away. lol. But my question is, will an IUD help with a period just as much as the pills do? Any info would help :) thanks!
