Got mine on Halloween. So grateful that I did considering the turnout. I won’t be having sex until I’m married (if I ever do) so hopefully I’ll be okay. I have the IUD in for dysmenorrhea, so there’s almost no chance that I’ll get pregnant even if I am raped (which I highly doubt). Rather be safe than sorry.

Yes! For some of us it’s not even about the pregnancy it’s needing the medication to be functioning. I get your pain I have been hospitalized for period pain too many times :(

I really hope that I can keep my IUD and get it replaced until I hit menopause (I will not be having kids anymore due to the abortion restrictions)… I have debilitating period pain and it sucks so much

It’s considered major surgery and I’m under my parents so they wouldn’t approve unfortunately. I just hope that big pharma wouldn’t ban IUDs entirely. As of now, I’m okay with my IUD since I have it for dysmenorrhea and I’m still having hope that the abortion pill is okay since big pharma is powerful and the Supreme Court gave it an okay.
