I am one of the lucky ones who responds well to hormonal birth control, and my IUD is a godsend. I don’t get a period at all anymore. Every few months I get a bit of light spotting. I also have PMDD, and without a period, all of my emotional instability has disappeared. Absolutely life changing. The birth control aspect of my IUD is like the bonus, lol.
But I do agree with the other commenter that IUDs and particularly hormonal birth control is not for everyone. I’ve had friends go through really rough stuff trying new meds and it was really eye opening for me who never had any issues with it. Don’t stick with something if it’s not working for you.
