TWO NEW UPDATES****

First thing is pretty exciting, to me at least lol, I got the copper IUD put in today!
Pros -
- no more bc pills! no need to worry about missing one
- NO HORMONES

I have been getting more worried about taking bcp AND herbs especially with a significant other. I had a pregnancy scare last month and I just don't want to risk it anymore!

Cons -

- heavier periods
- there's a possibility your partner can feel the strings from the iud during sex
- IT WAS EXTREMELY PAINFUL TO PUT IN!


For most people it should be fine and I would rate it a 4/10 on the pain scale for the average person, but I also have a very high threshold for pain and this was the most painful experience of my whole life! I would rate it a 12/10! LOL. But this was because I had a complication - my cervix opening did not want to open up! So I had to be dilated twice and the second time is what killed me! But it's in now and I just have some mild cramping. I hope my periods aren't TOO much heavier and hopefully I don't have terrible cramps! I'll find out on tuesday though when I start my period.

So if you need birth control but want to take herbs, I HIGHLY suggest looking into the copper iud!


Second Update!:

My breasts have gotten very full once again towards the end of this cycle. They started to get bigger about 5 days ago. I woke up with sore breasts and then they just started filling in.
This whole cycle I only felt tingling in my breasts one day and sore breasts for one day (one morning rather) so I definitely need to make some changes for next month.

I'm also not sure if I should detox for a month since I just switched to the copper iud
Day 1 of my cycle starts this upcoming Sunday so I'll have to decide soon!

Until then happy growing ladies
