gettinhealthy asked: Haha this is probably suuuper random but I read your survey and was wondering - would you recommend the IUD? I'm looking for alternatives and quit the pill a few months ago because the hormones were drivin' me crazay

I would recommend it if it’s your last resort. I had the same problem, I tried tons of other birth control and it either made me gain WAY too much weight or it totally screwed with my emotions. I’m a little worried about it though, even though I’ve already had it for 3 years. I’ve heard things about it causing infertility if you get pelvic inflammatory disease or have an ectopic pregnancy (though the chances are like .1%… I’m just paranoid). It is nice though, not having to worry about taking something everyday. I hardly ever think about it. I do have some intense cramps when I’m on my period though, but I’ve gotten used to it by now.

*Sorry if this was way TMI*
