I’ve been on the copper IUD for about two years. Recently (last 4/5 months) I’ve noticed my periods are becoming more frequent and closer together. My periods have become way heavier and way longer lasting since being on this IUD. I liked the idea that it was non hormonal but honestly I think the more frequent periods (less days between them anyway) is making me more hormonal. When I am ovulating especially, I feel kind of crazy with hormones and emotional. I am considering mirena but I am nervous that those hormones may make me emotional too…. My mom also always told me not to get on a bc that will stop my periods because “there’s a reason god have you periods to expel that stuff”. Just wanting to hear some thoughts and experiences of others. Thank you!
