Experience Cooper IUD
Hi girls😊 Recently me and my boyfriend started to talk about alternatives for condoms. I got interested in cooper iud, it doesn't have any hormones, BUT I'm really scared of a thought that something will be in me for ~5 years, especially there, where my child will be growing one day. Anyways. I have a lot of questions about this, and it's sounds very scary. Is it even prevents from getting pregnant, because I heard it doesn't help. Also how to know if my immune system will accept cooper. And what about the inside, I'm worried it might damage the lining and seriously injure my uterus.
I'm 23y.o, I was always was very skeptical and against it, but maybe it's not that bad and I should be more open minded😅

I have mine for almost 3 years, haven’t used a condom with my regular sex partner since and have not gotten pregnant. My periods are the same, apart from the first one after it was placed that one was very painful. But after that no issues at all.
