Should I get an IUD? And which one?
Hi, I’m from Poland (24F) and the topic here about IUD is still… nonexistant? A taboo? I mean, most of my friends don’t know that even something like that is out there.
I only use condoms with my bf but we started to talk about investing in IUD, because it’s described on the internet as some kind of a miracle device, but I’m kinda scared that it will mess up my hormones (and I don’t want to get a nonhormonal one cuz I read a lot of horror stories about getting more painful and more bloody menstruation after that one and I already have pretty bad menstruation in those aspects).
I went to my ob/gyn to get more information about IUD but she only said that inserting it hurts (wow so very informative).
So what’s your opinion about IUD? And what IUD do you recommend? I just want this as a form of anticonception. Beside that I’m healthy, that’s why I’m scared that hormonal ones will change a lot in my body. I hate any kind of interference in my body so I’m scared and don’t know if it’s worth it. And if it is, then which IUD should I choose.
