I’m thinking about getting an IUD but I’m nervous to because I’ve heard so many horror stories. Girls with positive experiences please share to lower my anxieties a bit! Thanks!!

It’s stopped my period and I forget I have it in. Just take pain meds and eat before it’s inserted and you’ll be fine :)

I love mine. I got the marina, so I don’t have a period anymore and it’s amazing lol! I was expecting so much pain and I was so nervous, but as someone with horrible period cramps, it was no worse than that!! Everyone is different though and if you have a negative experience you can always get it taken out!!💓

It was more awkward than it hurt and it’s the best thing I’ve ever done for myself!

I love mine! IMO it definitely hurt for a bit putting it in but I have heard girls passing out (i don’t want to fear monger i just want to keep it real). Be prepared for spotting (red/brown = old blood) - i personally had a lot of spotting for 3-4 months after but i know everyone’s experience is different. I’m now on year 4 out of 5 and have had no babies! woop woop
