birth control
"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've had it over 4 years now.  I'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's only gotten worse.

4 days in. Oh boy."
