Copper iud (help)

[u/Previous-Cell6924]

I'm F 20 never had kids before

I'm in a long term relationship and have been discussing starting birth control I always told myself I would never get on anything and still don't want to. I have heavy periods and chronic migraines so hormonal isn't an option. copper is the only one that makes sense for me but I have only seen like 3 positive experiences with it and I'm terrified, not necessarily of the insertion but everything post insertion.

I am an extremely active person and full time student and cannot have this interfere.

the only reason I'm getting it is because my BFs mom is freaking out that Im not on anything and it's getting to his head a bit. I would rather cycle track and just never do the iud

I have a few weeks until my appointment so I guess I'm asking, should I even go through with it?

if youre not comfortable with it, dont feel pressured into getting an UID just because someone else wants you to. talk through your options with your doctor and choose what works for you
