i wouldn't reccomend the copper iud. i have troubles with birth control, the hormones dont really agree with me so i wanted to try something that didnt have any, because i was pregnant and had an abortion and i dont really want to go through that again. When I got my first period after inserting it, I had cramps about 4 days before i actually started bleeding. And when that started the amount of pain i was in crippled me, i would sweat and could hardly breathe it hurt so bad, and the bleeding was very irregular, i could go from really light bleeding to none at all, to severely heavy bleeding, and this lasted about a week. I'm currently going through my second menstrual cycle since having this inserted and im about ready to get this thing out. I have taken ibuprofen, tylenol, nothing helps the pain either.
