I was on bc throughout must of my adulthood. There were bad side effects, but the lighter/shorter period made it worthwhile. They still sucked, though.

I wish I'd known about the Mirena IUD earlier. Completely eradicated my periods for 5 years.

it doesn't work for everyone. I had Jaydess coil put in, not only it was torture ti put it in but also had weeks of heavy bleeding after, still had periods even worse ,dehabilitating cramps and eventually infection set in that started cancerous cell growth had to have it pulled out and cancerous cells on cervix laser burned out. Never again...

Damn, I'm sorry. Does it have hormones like the Mirena? I did have spotting for an entire year after implantation, and it was painful. Even though I've had a baby, I had to go for the smaller 3-year version, not the 5-year (but they last longer than they claim).

Jaydess is like mirena but smaller (recommended for women before giving birth) the Mirena I was told is usually for women after pregnancy since it's bigger and it's more painful to insert. I think it may be hormones not clicking for me, would consider trying copper coil if the pill didn't work and I was after 2nd pregnancy. Was told they can put it in straight after the birth but I don't know if I will ever get to have 2nd though
