I feel depressed when I think about removing my IUD

GRACE Lilith • Previously Lilith DV survivor

I do not have any children and when my IUD expires I will be 30, I don’t know if I want children so when this IUD expires I’m going to have to make a choice to either start TTC or put another IUD in. I’m leaning to TTC. I have horrible periods and the IUD has spoiled me and I haven’t had to deal with that in years. The idea of taking it out to start TTC… it’s a dreadful feeling. Not bc I’m like “oh I dread TTC because I don’t want a baby.” I dread TTC Because I’ll have to be dealing with those awful periods again until I get pregnant. They’ll have to regulate and then who knows how long it will take to get pregnant. it’s going to suck.
