Which is better?

Question

Has anyone gotten pregnant on with either of those? I’m leaning more towards copper because I’m on the pill right now and it’s having a negative effect on my body, and I don’t really want to get another hormonal birth control and have the same effects. But I also heard some women are allergic to copper. How could I test if I was allergic? I’ve held pennies and stuff in my hands and I never reacted but then again those women probably have too so is there another way to check??

Answer

Paragard the copper IUD makes periods heavier and longer so if you have a heavy flow I wouldnt recommend it. I have a heavy flow and it made mine so much worse. If you have a light flow to medium.flow you should be ok. I switched to mirena IUD the hormonal and it took away my periods. I love it. The hormones stay in your uterus so you arent as likely to have so many side effects like you are with other hormonal birth control because other hormonal birth control circulates your blood stream.

Answer

Both fucked me up, but I wasn’t aware at the time that I need more estrogen because I lack estrogen naturally. If your hormones are normal, it’s worth a try. Honestly it was worth a try for me even though both were terrible for me because they led to me figuring out what actually works and what doesn’t.
