(Anonymous) 2023-05-21 02:57 pm (UTC)(link)Medical reasons:
Along with all the things written above - I have always had very heavy flow with large clots, sometimes as large as my palm. Luckily, I usually only bled for four days. I'm also ace, so I didn't feel an IUD was really worth it (I don't need BIRTH control), cause I have also read about them.
A few years ago the bleeding just ... didn't stop. I bled for 6 months. The clots got larger - some days it was all clot. Obviously I knew something was wrong after day 6, and it took 2 months to get an appointment with an obgyn specialist. Long story short, they needed to do a biopsy and I was offered several treatment options if it wasn't cancer (it wasn't). It was going to take another 4 months before they had an opening to do the biopsy (I couldn't have it done in the office for medical reasons). At that point, I decided I had had enough of menstruation for a lifetime, and, of all the options I had that weren't doing nothing, an IUD was the only reversible one, so I said fuck it. If it the IUD caused problems I would just have it removed; and from the stats I read I had a decent chance of it being fine.
It took about four months after I got the IUD for my periods to really stop. About a year or so of my hormones being a little crazy (LOTS of night sweats at first) it's finally settled down and I have stopped tracking what time of the month it is. I don't know if I'm going to replace it once it's time for removal, but I do love not having to deal with any of it.
