I also want to take the time to stress that it's WORTH the money, even if it didn't average out to be cheaper than hormones. Not having to take a pill every day or change a ring every month or a patch every week, not having to worry about losing your birth control if you go on vacation or whatever, not to mention the AMAZING feeling of being off of hormones... it's LIBERATING!
Having an IUD is incredibly empowering for me as a woman. I feel it's a wonderful symbol of taking charge of my sexuality and not letting anything get in the way of my enjoyment. I hope you're able to share in this feeling soon, cadre
