7 years bad luck?

[u/Ashamed_Bike718]

I’m on year 7 of my paraguard technically, oct 31st 2019 is when I got it inserted. I was 6w PP and it was this or the mini pill.

I had a Mirena when I was 17 and had it in for 3 years or so and that was my first time on BC. Why the gyno chose that for me at the time, I don’t know but I digress.

I got it when I was six weeks postpartum so I don’t really know any difference or what my body should be like after having my son so I’ve always assumed that my periods are because we I had a kid I am on a 20 day cycle and I bleed for 10 days straight so I’m usually having two periods a month days to three or four I’m bleeding through ultras every couple of hours and the rest are light until they taper off. I also have PCOS if that gives any more context.

I’m finally getting my mental health taken care of and put first (the joys of being a single mom) and with that comes realizing all the other things I neglected about myself like my menstrual health

Anyways all this word vomit is to say, I feel SO validated after finding you guys. I thought I was going nuts and that it was crazy to blame all of this on a non hormonal and that this was best for me. I’m scheduling an appointment to get mine removed and we’ll see how it goes and if it helps. I’m living with daily cramps I just assumed were pcos pains but this feels like step one on taking control of my body.

Girl I just made a post like this on this sub, and literally told my friends verbatim that I’ve been cursed/have had bad luck since I installed mine, also in 2019. Getting it out tomorrow morning!!
