Copper
birth control
"Hi there,

I also wanted to write a positive review. The first few days of having the Copper IUD was difficult. IBprofin became my best friend. I was bloated and swollen in my abdomen area for the first week but after that everything was fine. I did experience my first period recently and honestly it wasn't that bad. My period before the IUD lasted about 5 days with medium flow. Once I got the IUD and on my next period, it was light the first two days with cramping 2 days before and about 3-4 days during my period. On the 3rd and 4th day of my period, it was pretty heavy heavy but after that went back to a normal flow. Definitely advise to have super size tampons if your getting the copper IUD. Honestly I'm fine with my period and was expecting it to be heavier, nice thing the heavy flow didn't last that long. In total my period was about 7 days. I think I'll get use to it. I'm really happy with it and haven't experienced any other side effects since my period ended... no spotting, nothing :-)"
