birth control
"Do NOT get an IUD. Got inserted on 10.9.17. Even after taking 4 ibuprofen to prepare for the pain it was excruciating for 4 days. I ended up going to the ER. Mind you, I’m 8 months post baby so it shouldn't have hurt that much. Side effects: cramping/pain, mood swings, back pain, vaginal infection...which I just found out after a month of having this thing in I have BV. I literally just pulled it out on my own since my Dr. refused to remove it and kept convincing me to keep it in just because my side effects are slightly better. DO NOT GET AN IUD. Remember, Drs. profit off of RX’s. I refuse to suffer for longer than a month. The infection was the last straw which I KNOW the IUD caused because I was tested during insertion and was negative."
