That ' s what it said for me when I sent you one as well ! I guess both of us sending trade requests cancels each others ? O <| sep |> I have a mirena IUD and several of my friends have IUDs as well . 2 others with mirena , 3 with copper . If you ' re wanting to keep your period you should go with the copper IUD as I don ' t get my period anymore and either do my friends . However , all of my friends with copper had really low iron so if that ' s something you ' re already deficient in you would need to supplementtalk to your doctor . As for your aunt , depending on how long ago she had it . IUDs have become much safer and more effective in the last few decades so I wouldn ' t worry about that . There are the same horror stories with the pill and other contraceptive methods . I love my IUD but it hurt a lot to be inserted . I ' m a runner and I couldn ' t do exercise I ' m talking like even walking for 20 minutes without getting awful cramps for the first month . 3 months in I could exercise no problem . But insertion was traumatic for my body . Everyone has different experiences however . Happy to answer any questions if you got em .
