Hey ladies, I am considering getting the IUD(I have talked to my doctor) . I have used BC pills in the past but was forgetful. Tried Nexplanon but I bled for 2 weeks straight and loved the patch but currently paying $30 a month for it ( I’m in college and can’t afford it). I like the idea of have something I don’t have to worry about and can leave it for 5 years because my fiancé and I aren’t trying for kids currently as we want to finish school first. I wanted to know what y’alls experiences are with it. I was on BC originally for heavy irregular periods.

UPDATE:

Okay Ladies, I’m getting the IUD tomorrow. I know that’s soon but I agreed to it when I talked to my Dr. there was a chance that I wouldn’t have gotten so soon due to the fact that the dr( who is a different dr the mine) is doing the procedure only works at mine doctors office part time and the nearest hospital the rest. Any way I wanted some after care tips? The dr recommend taking some pain reliever before hand and I got a heating pad.
