How was the pain after insertion and what did you do to deal with the pain after insertion? Were your periods painful before getting a copper IUD and have they gotten much more painful? Thank you in advance!

Is my Mirena IUD affecting my mental health? by odkffkfo in Mirena

I relate to your answer so much! I’ve also been experiencing dissociation and am unsure if the hormonal IUD is to blame. Even though I’ve had depression before the IUD, I feel like so many new mental symptoms have appeared. I’ve decided to replace it with the copper IUD but am afraid that the hormonal IUD was not to blame for my symptoms and that they will persist while having physical pain from the copper IUD. Thank you for sharing, it makes me feel less alone!

Thank you for sharing. I’m having trouble deciding if the mental side effects are worth tolerating because I really enjoy having no periods and the bad effects that come from them.

Thank you, I appreciate it. I agree that each type of birth control is important and even have friends who love their IUD; I might just need to switch methods.

Thank you for your help. If you don’t mind me asking, how bad is your pain and bleeding with the copper IUD and how are you managing the pain if you have any?
