"i am 37 and have had 1 child. i have been on the pill most of my adult life, but have always been hormone-sensitive. that has only become worse with age...my periods we&#039;re all over the place, i gave up keeping track. tried nexplanon and bled for 8 months straight before having it removed. i have had my copper iud for about3 months now, and i love it! the insertion was painful (like labor cramps) but only for a couple seconds. had minor cramping for about a week or so. started my period right away, now they are like clockwork. the flow is only slightly heavier for me than it usually was. i&#039;m not pregnant so far either, so there&#039;s that too. i would recommend it."
