When I quit BCPs (many years ago) it was wonderful, esp. after a month or two. I felt so much better & happier. I wasn't bloated like before & quit having so many intense headaches. Note however: it took 2 years until my periods became regular once again. That wasn't fun at all! And that made my "calendar watch" more difficult than ever. I got a diaphragm which wasn't worth the effort and was just a pain to use. Luckily I was married and it would have been okay if I had gotten pregnant.

Pay close attention to your body's reactions. If you get weird pains do get a check up. They can get dislodged. I hope the IUD is a good solution for you. Let us Ladies know how this is going

Best of Luck, Much Fun & Peace of Mind!
