"copper iud user for 8 months. my experience as follows! concise/easy to read.
pros: 
i did not get pregnant while having a copper iud
put mind at ease/no worry about pregnancy

cons:
-changed/longer periods that persisted during my use. 
-period went from 3 days, to 5 - 6 days...extremely heavy for a few months, which subsided...however long periods, usually a few days of irregular bleeding persisted.
-bacterial vaginosis (never had before or after iud, plenty of stats show copper iud users are much more likely to develop this due to the increased flora)
-huge increase in discharge, had to wear a panty liner 24/7 - discharge was 95% better literally the day i removed the iud

my body didn&#039;t respond well - yours might!"
