"i hate hormonal bc. i tried at least 20  since having period issues in high school.  

after having my one and only, i had my iud put in.  my doc had put in hundreds, no insertion issues.
things went well the first year; i had some string scared but promptly had an ultrasound to check and make sure the iud was in place.

i&#039;ve had it over 4 years now.  i&#039;ve had several cysts on one ovary that grow to the size of grapefruits before rupturing; something i had never experienced before.  this came with very long, very heavy periods.

no pregnancy scared but have had to start taking a 2 month cycle of hormonal bc for the first time in over a decade to try and correct the issue. i tried to wait it out and it&#039;s only gotten worse.

4 days in. oh boy."
