birth control
"Absolutely love this IUD. I had severely heavy and long periods (changing tampon and pad every 30-45 minutes for two weeks every  month) while on many different types of pill birth control, so I decided to get an IUD. The first 2 months were frustrating because I had heavy spotting and heavy periods, but then my 3rd month was a little better, and my 4th month, I didn't have spotting or a period, and it's been great since. Every month I still take a pregnancy test just to be sure and they've all been negative, so I would definitely say it's doing it's job. I went to planned Parenthood to get it, and it was much more affordable than mirena."
