birth control
"I was on the progestin only pill for 10 months & pretty much hated it. Had to be on it because I couldn't have any birth control that contained estrogen due to a family history of bloodclots. The POP was effective yes, but I had crazy mood swings, acne, low sex drive, & gave me vaginal dryness, which made sex extremely painful. My gyno had been trying to get me to try the IUD for almost a year, so I decided to try it since I about had it with that pill. I went in today for my insertion. I had some issues because my cervix was tight, and I have an introverted uterus. She had to use the sonogram to help place it correctly. So what should have been a 5 min procedure took 20 min. It was painful, but bearable. Just felt like period cramps. "
