IUD questions???

Question

I’m talking to my doctor tomorrow about *finally* getting the IUD!!! Yayyy for me lol
However..... I know there is like 4 different kinds. Mirena, Skyla, Paraguard, and I forgot the other. Kyleena?? Idk that sounds kinda right?
Anyway, i know paraguard lasts the longest and is non hormonal but personally I prefer the hormonal one. 
Anyone have any recommendations? Or any side effects? Any advice will be much appreciated!!!

Answer

I have kyleena! Got it inserted at the end of November and had some very light spotting for about a month, but hasn’t had any bleeding or periods since! No pain, haven’t noticed weight gain, no acne, I feel fine mentally. Let me know if you have any specific questions! 
Oh and kyleena is 5 years!

Answer

If you’ve given birth (especially recently,) my OB recommends Mirena. I got it for the second time today because it worked great for me the first time!! Only spotted for a day the first month of having it, then I didn’t have a period at all. Hoping for the same this time around.

Answer

Have you ever had kids? If you haven't a skyla or kyleena is your best bet because you're least likely to reject one of those 2. They have less hormones and are around half the size of a mirena, so they're perfect for a uterus that's never been stretched before. Personally, I had a skyla for 2.5 years and only got it removed because I had an ovarian cyst that was putting pressure on it. I LOVED it. Best birth control I ever used and the only problem/symptom I had from it was occasional vagina lightening and I stopped getting my period for the entire time I was on it.
