get nexplanon, its the most effective(even moreso than an iud) and its an implant in the arm instead of straight busting ur shit open the only issue is that its hormone based and may fuck up (or could alleviate) ur period, i had a hg on it and it made her not have her period for months at a time.

nexplanon goes in your arm, insertion i didn’t feel a thing. i got it taken out exactly 1yr later bc my period never stopped. and when i say never i mean it literally didn’t stop. my cramps were also worse. i hated it.

I am looking for something that mainly decreases the pain. But I'm really afraid of putting something up my kitty. I also am thinking of becoming sexually active in the next year or so, I want to be prepared and safe. (I am above the age of 18)

I don’t have one anymore but if you can handle pain, consider an IUD they last for like 6 years and my periods were so much lighter and less frequent after a few months

what kind of side affects did you have though? I'm nervous about that

For maybe like a month or two I had more cramping but I think that was just my body getting used to having that in it. I don’t remember any major changes happening to me besides the period stuff

That’s what happened to me on my iud, I had a hormonal one

The cramping is what I'm trying to avoid, my period cramps are so bad I can't get out of bed sometimes

That’s honestly part of the reason I got on bc, everyone’s experience will be different so I don’t blame you for avoiding an iud but for me the cramps didn’t really get worse, they were just kinda frequent. They warned me before I got it that it might make me feel like I’m having some mild period cramps even when I’m not on my period for a bit after getting it

And since getting it removed my periods don’t feel as awful as before, not sure if that’s from the iud or something else but I’ll gladly accept it lol

would you say her pain was reduced? like period cramps, back pain, etc?
