Re: IUD Question
That's why I didn't get the copper one. That's a side-effect of it. Heavy periods.
On the other hand, I got the Mirena IUD and I do not get AF. Maybe spotting once a month, but that's what I love about it.

My sentiments exactly. I hope it gets better

Re: IUD Question
I am getting the paraguard on friday  and I am aware of this side affect. My old obgyn did tell me it will take a few cycles before it isn't heavy anymore.

Re: IUD Question
I had the paraguard for over 2 years & after the first 3 cycles, it was fine. Bleeding was actually lighter than usual & so was the cramping. My only warning: check the placement of it as much as you can (ask your doctor about it)!!! I got pregnant last year with the IUD. It had either moved out of place sometime between my exam in February & becoming pregnany in April OR, I was the small percent that it didn't work for properly.
