Switch from Skyla to Paragard?!

Esmeralda

Hey ladies! So I’ve had my Skyla in for over a year and it has made me over the top emotional! Sometimes I feel like I’m going crazy and I remember getting like that when I was on pills in the past. Because of this, I’ll be switching to the copper IUD since it’s non hormonal. I think that would be good for my emotional health however I’m pretty scared about the painful periods and cramps that I’ve heard so much about. Before Skyla I had really terrible periods but I generally have a high pain tolerance and I figure I can always take ibuprofen.

Has anyone ever made this switch? Other opinions/tips on Paragard IUD?! Please help 😭🐰
