Thank you for this. I was on the Pill most of my adult life due to horrible cramps. Currently on the mini pill. Now, at 46, I have menorrhagia and am suffering greatly. I have had ultrasounds, diagnosed with probable Adenomyosis and now am told the only solution is an IUD. I’ve heard so many horror stories, I refuse. They act as if it’s the only solution.
IUDs always freaked me out more than the pill. Maybe because the pain/discomfort is more tangible and easily attributed to said device. It’s easy to take chemical cocktails because the risk is more readily out the the back of one’s mind.
