So I have been going back and forth since Samaya thinking what type of birth control would work for me.... I thought the mini pill which I was on for about a week then I just forgot to keep taking them (obviously not a good choice for me) Next was going on the depo shot, its once every three months not a bad choice except can cause moodiness and I already have tons of that.I also looked at the nuva ring, you insert it i believe once a week, I was looking for birth control with NO hormone's to start off with, something I didn't have to remember to take at the same time every day because lets be truthful, I just cant remember...haha. Then I stumbled upon the IUD, looks promising, but go online and google it omg... the bashing begins.... I was very afraid. My sister had (bc she just took it out last week) the paraguard IUD, no hormones, she said she had cramps often, strong menstrual flow, spotted frequently, but hey no babies in two years.... So it must work. LOL. To say I was afraid was the very least but I was sure of a few things... I don't want kids at this moment and/or in the next two years, I want to enjoy sex without condoms, when you are in a committed relationship asking your partner to wear a condom is for the SOLE reason of preventing pregnancy. (I know who I'm sexing so I'm comfortable going without the condom) so my decision was pretty much made up. I made my appt and then waited two weeks, they said NO SEX, but again when your in a committed relationship two weeks is long time to go without, I had sex but did use a condom. When I finally went to get the paraguard IUD inserted the doctor said you could have sex but you must use a condom (YAY!!!, no need to confess then:), because if you are pregnant and have an IUD in place, VERY SERIOUS ISSUES CAN/WILL ARISE.
Okay so the procedure I guess we can call it that took roughly about 4 minutes. I must say it is uncomfortable but its being done for a reason, and that reason isnt for pleasure. So with that said you feel strong cramping I would even say its like labor contractions. After the procedure I was cramping alot to say the least, but I walked/rushed to CVS and got some Ibuprofen and popped three pills (a bit much but darn it, I was in pain). Then I went shopping! I really did, I went to babyRus and got my daughter some snacks. I did want to go clothing shopping but I didn't want to push myself. I came home and rested. I had cramps the rest of the day. But I stood in bed, didn't cook we had Chinese and by bedtime I was feeling alot better. We even DTD and it didn't hurt! :) I did also have slight discharge, The doctor said I would. But it was very light. Today is day two and I have yet to take meds! I haven't had any cramping today at all! I am bleeding a little bit but nothing a pantie liner cant handle! As of right now I'm am very excited to have chosen the paraguard IUD for me but the real test will be once my aunt flow comes into the picture! I hope my period stays the same, light and short, but from what I have read/heard.... I better get ready for three pills, a warm compress and bed. I will update, of course if i remember, my progress with the paraguard IUD! I hope that if someone is considering IUD's realize that they arent as bad. Then again I must say, NOT EVERYONE will react the same way, and/or have the tolerance for pain/uncomfortableness that comes with insertion! Happy shopping for Birth control!
- As I was leaving the doctors office after I popped my three pills I asked Jermaine, Why doesnt every girl/woman have and IUD? There would be so many prevented pregnancy's...!!! Feel free to comment below on any of your stories with ANY type of birth control. Until next time be safe!
