Switch iuds

Jocelyn

Hi all, I’ve had the Paraguard for a year now and all of a sudden the past month I’ve had nonstop cramps and spotting and i just don’t feel like myself.

I’m going to the clinic to make sure it hasn’t moved or there isn’t an infection but I’m honestly thinking of taking it out and putting in a different (hormonal) one because I can’t live with the periods anymore. Any thoughts on this? Has anyone done the switch before?
