I've been on the pill for a few months and was on Depo before that. I really liked the Depo except for the horrible migraines I got from the hormone fluctuations. I switched to the pill hoping it would help but I have the same problem with it, only more often.
I've been thinking about switching to an IUD. My biggest reservation is that I've always had really heavy periods with bad bad cramps (like early labor, need-a-narcotic, bad), and they're much better on the pill. I didn't even get them at all on Depo and I loved it. Organic tampons are too dang expensive! How does and IUD effect periods, if at all? Does it hurt when they put it in?
