Thanks for the support!

Aside from the expected side effects of heavier cramps and bleeding, the copper IUD has been working well for me. My symptoms were actually getting better with time, so this latest episode was definitely a step in the wrong direction. Hopefully my body will settle down soon.

I guess it's always something when you're a woman. Since I can't do hormones either, this was the best choice for me. When I was suffering with cramps the other day, I suggested to the boyfriend that he get a vasectomy since he's the one that says he never wants kids. He didn't think that was a good idea for some reason
