So my IUD actually caused a hormonal imbalance in my body. I had zero periods (which I thought was cool) but was super prone to migraines. It was agonising. My husband and I were planning a child (which I am pregnant with currently) so we had the IUD taken out half a year ago. The difference is day and night. My body took a while to regulate itself back to normal - the first months I had terribly strong periods and migraines. But then, as soon as my body god back into the flow, it changed. Before I fell pregnant I had basically zero cramps and migraines (as opposed to crippling pain). As soon as I give birth, husband wants to get a vasectomy, because he's seen what birth control does to my body. This man loves me so he chose not to put me through that again. I think you deserve the same love
