Kyleena IUD

Insertion was painful (almost passed out) but once it was in I was okay for a bit. I had no sex drive for the entire time I had it. After a few months I started noticing hair loss and kept getting intense migraines that had me missing work and school. Then I started getting heart palpitations that stopped immediately after I got it removed. My mental health took a turn for worse and hasn't been the same since.

Experiences coming off Kyleena IUD

I feel amazing! It really wrecked me and I really regret getting an IUD. I have a huge sex drive now and sex is no longer painful. My mental health has also improved and my physical side effects are gone. My hair is back to being thick and long!
