birth control
"30 years old, had the copper iud for 6 months. Insertion wasn't that bad, slight cramping but otherwise fine. I had it removed because I started having recurring yeast infections every month (3 months straight), extreme cramping during my period, random bleeding, discharge, and spotting, I would bleed for two weeks at a time, bleeding during sex, dizziness, and my periods were extremely heavy (soaking through a pad every hour.) Before IUD, I had no cramps, four day periods (light bleeding) and no yeast infections. Switched to Mirena!"
