IUD - Progesterone or Copper?

CB

I am 6 weeks postpartum, I go for my checkup next week. I am going to get an IUD for birth control. My OB told me I could get a progesterone only IUD, which isn’t non hormonal but less bleeding side effects, or the copper which is non hormonal but tends to have heavy bleeding with it. What’s your experience?
