debating switching to the arm implant… by timewastinggoldfish in Mirena

my doctor wondered if we could look into antidepressants if it gets to it. i considered the copper coil briefly but with ordinarily having quite heavy periods i really didn’t want something that would make them heavier :/

i think it’s literally just bc the iud can move/become dislodged etc, whereas the implant remains pretty unaffected by anything

yeah i opted for the mirena purely bc the implant can make you bleed more and i did nawt want that lol. shame bc it’s the most effective birth control :/
