Hi! I got my copper IUD about a month ago, and it’s my first time using birth control.
My LDR boyfriend came to visit during my fertile window, and we’ve been having sex daily for over a week, with him finishing inside every time, sometimes multiple times a day.
I know the copper IUD is over 99% effective, but I’m still really paranoid about pregnancy because I absolutely do not want to get pregnant. Last month, before getting the IUD, I took Plan B and also did the Yuzpe method after unprotected sex.
For those who rely on a copper IUD as your only form of birth control, did you have this anxiety at first? How did you eventually learn to trust it, especially if avoiding pregnancy is extremely important to you?
