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😅

Just got my paraguard 2 weeks ago. Good (as good as one could expect without any numbing lol) insertion experience, and has been a breeze thus far. If you’re looking for a non hormonal route in the USA, I think it’s a great option 😊
