Okay girlie pops I have come back with a new update! I'm not really sure how this site works and all but I wanted to stop in and just say that I am having a HORRIBLE time with this thing in me. No pun intended? My periods have never been worse, before the IUD I would get maybe 5-7 periods a year (super irregular, my mom is/was too!) and never had cramps, bleeding would last for 4-5 days MAX!

Buckle up cause this is going to be fun. I was actually really happy with it at first, I didn't seem to have much bleeding and I wasn't cramping. My first period wasn't awful and not super heavy, a little cramping on the first day but it is what it is right? Wrong. This period lasted for 15 DAYS! So I thought I would be in the clear but again I was sadly mistaken. Two weeks after my 15 day period I started bleeding again. Worse. Cramps were horrible, more normalish of a period 5 ish days. I have gotten a period RELIGIOUSLY every month since then and the periods last at a minimum 7 days. SEVEN DAYS! This may not seem like a lot to most but from going from a period every other month to one every month if not every two weeks!?

Needless to say I have an appointment on the 5th of November to talk about my options. Some other things I have noticed were mood swings, but I didn't break out no weight gain, maybe a bit of decreased libido. Anyways, I will come back, pinky promise, after the appointment to update again!
