Best birth control??!

Faith

Hey Ladies so this is my first time ever getting birth control and I’m a little nervous because I’ve always sided against using and type of birth control. I talked to my doctor today and we are planning on doing the IUD but I’m not completely sure I want to do it because of what I’ve heard about it. My doctor also told me since I smoke that the pill wouldn’t be a good option so what do I do? I’ve had terrible/unbearable periods my whole life and I want to do something about it. Is birth control the right way to go and if you’ve ever had an IUD what’s your opinion? HELP!! 😪
