Kyleena IUD
After taking the pill for years for my endometriosis and PCOS, the hormonal IUD has been a much much better experience. I’ve had two problems with it — once it moved and stuck into me which was painful but had it removed and replaced same day, and once it gave me a big cyst which was eliminated with a hormone pill for a week. Both of these are still much more minor than the pain and problems I had with the pill!
