birth control
"I got an iud directly after an abortion 11/15. The next few days were downright excruciating. I had to have my a friend give me some of her oxytocin from her tonsil surgery. Very painful. After the cramping I didn't stop bleeding until maybe April! I waited it out cause I wasnt sure if the side effects were from the abortion or the insertion or both. Its been about 8 months now and I'm making an appointment to have it removed. No one told me the truth about the side effects. I get painful cramps at any time of the month, sex drive ebbs and flows like crazy, my periods last up to 2 weeks, lot of spotting after sex, awful skin/acne, the list goes on. However, no weight gain for me. The iud is a nuisance more than anything."
