Re: Advice about Birth Control

(Anonymous) 2014-12-14 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
I looked into getting an IUD and decided against it. The copper or inert ones don't reduce bleeding. The Mirena or Skyla ones do, but not for everyone. They're primarily for birth control, and lighter periods are just a side effect for some people. They also carry some risk of Pelvic Inflammatory Disease, so if your niece has issues communicating about pain, that could be pretty dangerous. I don't think I could handle the procedure anyway. I hate having anyone look at me or touch me down there, so it feels very invasive to me.

A friend of mine had Depo recently and bled for a month or so without breaks. So that's probably not your best option. Apparently all hormonal BC options that can stop or lighten periods can cause prolonged bleeding like that. Implants can stop periods entirely, or it can make you spot constantly.

I'd prefer to stick with the pill. My periods are much lighter. I have an alarm set on my phone so it's part of my routine. I think the best option is the one that's easiest for her to live with, if that makes sense.
