IUD opinions?

Question

How do you ladies like your IDU’s? Side effects?

Answer

I had the Mirena and I really liked it, it can last 3-5 years depending on which one you get. Once it’s in you never have to worry about it

Answer

Ignore the product... I couldn’t post without it, and I couldn’t add paragard. 
I had paragard for 7 ish years. It can last 10-12 and is hormone free. I choose it for the hormone-free experience, as I never did well with hormonal birth control pills. 
Pros:
-Lasts the longest of all IUDs
-No hormones
-No nasty side effects like headaches, bloat, acne, moodiness that I had with the pill. I was told it was unlikely BUT STILL POSSIBLE to have those hormone-related side effects with a hormonal IUD. I didn’t want to risk feeling like shit. 
Meh:
-You get a period. Honestly, that’s a pro and a major con, but at least you don’t have to remember to take pregnancy tests to double-check you’re not pregnant.
Cons:
-My periods were longer. They went for 4 days to 5. 
-My period was very painful for the first few months. It got better over time.

Answer

I loved it, the only thing I hated was I bled the first 3 months after getting it but after that I’ve had no problems

Answer

I had the Paraguard. Absolutely hated it. My periods were super long and heavy. My anxiety and depression were horrible. I had it removed in 2016 to ttc baby #2 and Ive had 3 losses. Turns out I SOMEHOW got a blood clotting disorder after I had my son with no complications. So, please research the side effects. Dont feel like you have to stick with it if you find the side effects really difficult. If I knew then what I know now, I would never had gotten it.

Answer

Just got my Mirena in 6 days ago. I spotted the first day or two and then it went away. Got cramping the first day or two but I only took ibuprofen before my appt. The insertion was painful but only lasted like 30 seconds and ibuprofen helped. So far it’s going ok but we’ll see...

Answer

I had it in for about 4 years and loved it. Spotted a few times but that was it. The only thing I didn’t like was when I got it taken out all my hormones came flooding back so it was rough adjusting to a typical cycle again

Answer

I HATED mire a. It gave me the worst cramps and I had to have it removed luckily we were ready to start try because that was hell. It was inserted properly and was in place it hadn’t traveled but it was the worst cramps.  
My suggestion if you want an IUD is to try kyleena if you’ve never had a baby it’s smaller but just as effective I wish I had been told that before hand because omg I regret that thing so much pain for no reason I would have used something else if I had known that was the pain I would have to endure. 
I will never get another IUD again but that’s just me. That’s how bad my experience was.

Answer

I got my Mirena IUD on Monday & it didn’t hurt at all in my experience- I had no bleeding or anything after insertion. A few cramps later on that day & the day after but so far so good.
