Your doctor could probably give you better recommendations but I love my IUD, I have the liletta (hormonal)

I went from nexplanon to the mirena and it was game changing. Love her sm!

Can i ask how long you used nexplanon? I’ve had it for like almost a year now with no period or issues, do you think I’ll start having them?

i was the same way i’d be on my period for weeks @ a time and not have it for like 4 days before i got it again and it sucked bc it was constantly heavy + painful but now i’m on the patch and so far it’s only lasted 4 days max, only heavy and bare-able cramps the first day

If you don't mind me asking have you had any pregnancy scares while on it?

No, but my bf doesn’t finish inside me very often. But that’s just us us being paranoid lol, it’s still over 99.9% effective even if do let him do that. Just take a pregnancy test every month or so to be sure especially if you stop getting a period with it (common side effect)

Did you get your period the whole time or did it start after a year or two
