Copper coil (IUD)

Had this for 2 months nearly it’s the best contraception I’ve ever been on so far it’s better than the pill because it is a non hormonal option nothing to remember you forget it’s there and I don’t have to worry about it for 5 years however the insertion was a-bit uncomfortable but nothing I can’t handle just felt like a big period cramp when I got it inserted no more hormonal mood swings or worry if i ever vomited it won’t be effective more reliable than what the pill is I’ve had heavier periods all my life so I’m used to having a heavy flow any way the only annoying thing is I have to change my pads every 2 or 4 hours sometimes because my flow is a lot heavier and I’ve experienced Flooding on the sheets I would highly recommend though I’ve had no bad side effects at all just a heavier flow every month
