Birth control?

Question

I'm on the pill right now but I'm considering the IUD..
Pros and cons??
Also pros and cons of Copper IUD?
Any info is appreciated

Answer

I had the Mirena for 5 years. 
Getting it in, painful with a HEAVY flow.
After that it was amazing! 
No pregnancy, spotting.. no real periods, PMS is almost nonexistent.
Remove didn’t hurt.. got my period 2 days after removal. Period is back how it was before I got it.

Answer

I’ve had multiple Mirena IUDs and I had positive experiences with them. I get little to no period with it, I like that I don’t have to remember to take a pill every day, I like that the hormones are low-dose and stable over time so my moods are very stable over time. 
My doctor told me that if the IUD fails the vast majority of the time it’s because it moved, and it’s most likely to move within the first month or two after having it placed. So I always have mine checked for placement with an ultrasound about a month after having it placed. I was able to conceive about 4 months after having my first one removed with the intention of conceiving. 
The very first one was painful to have inserted, but removal was a breeze, and the placement of subsequent ones has been far less painful as well. They had a little trouble removing one of mine because the strings got cooled up in my cervix, but they were able to get it out without any surgical intervention.

Answer

I’ve had the copper IUD for 2 years now. Only con was super heavy and painful periods the first 6 months. But since then they’re returned to almost normal.

Answer

I would consult with your doctor. But From my experience I had the 3 year IUD. Everything was fine until it was time for me to replace it. I went to get removed in office and had trouble. So they had to remove it in the OR. They removed it on a Friday and I was back Saturday because I developed right ovation vein thrombosis. I was blood thinners for 3 months and no I have to visit my hematologist every 6 months for bloodwork
