birth control
"I have used the Copper IUD for contraception for 5 months, and I hope to NEVER have to use anything else. Yes, my cramps are crazy and I bleed a lot more when I'm on my period (I also get some mild cramping leading up to my period) but I find all of this manageable. The copper IUD has NO SIDE EFFECTS besides cramping and increased bleeding, people who experience hair loss, acne, mood issues, etc... are more than likely suffering from transitioning off of hormonal BC, since there are NO HORMONES in the Copper IUD. I love mine. It's so easy, I'm never at the mercy of my doctor or pharmacy for a prescription, and it's so cheap in Canada. Mine cost $67 CAD, for 10 years of no babies! Plus, it's 99% effective, so lots of peace of mind"
