Hormonal or Non-hormonal IUD?

Question

Comment why!

Answer

Paraguard (copper, non-hormonal) is the best. It does give you some more cramping and heavier bleeding for the first couple periods, but your body adjusts. I don’t cramp bad now and my periods are only heavy for a day or two. My periods do last longer, but the discharge is small for the first few and last few days. I hate hormonal birth control because it makes me very moody!

Answer

Hormonal. Because it's slightly more effective and who wants heavier periods with the copper iud!

Answer

I liked hormonal cause it stopped my periods.  But i got side effects when placed and removed. So. It was 50/50 for me

Answer

I love the non hormonal because of the fact it doesn’t have any hormonal symptoms to it , and my periods are still them same , cramps are uncomfortable, but tolerable.

Answer

I love the hormonal iud because i got it for my heavy periods which have stopped.

Answer

I started with the Mirena (hormonal) and I gained weight, had bad acne, had severe mood swings, and decided to get on the Paragard (non-hormonal) and I am so glad I did! I do have more cramping and heavier periods, but I’d much rather have that than the side effects I experienced with hormonal birth control.

Answer

After being on the pill for over a year, I got the nonhormonal IUD. I believe the pills made me moody, depressed, and plateau with my weight. I have been off the pills for almost 6 months and have lost about 12 lbs🤷🏾‍♀️.

Answer

The copper iud only works if it is exactly at the top of the uterus, and the hormonal works as long as it’s in the uterus (ie. not jammed in the cervix, etc). I got pregnant on the copper iud, because it had shifted 1mm from the top of my uterus. I will be getting kyleena (hormonal iud, smaller version of mirena) in about a month.
