Well. I have had BOTH IUD options now and I will tell you my experience, so perhaps I can help someone else. I am 36, no children, in a domestic partnership and don't smoke. I'm about 5'9 135 pounds. I have tried all pills and they ALL make me an insane emotional person, which is why I tried IUDs in the first place. My best friend did some research and found out about the copper Paraguard. So I spoke to my GYN about it and got it inserted. Huge horrible long periods and cramps. I would have kept it in because it wasn't affecting me emotionally or sexually, but my body actually expelled it after a couple of months. So, I tried the Mirena because my GYN insisted that it wouldn't have side affects and the small dose of hormones went directly into my uterus. Well- ha. I had horrible cramping, spotting the whole month, I became emotionally irrational again, lost any chance at an orgasm- and I actually did get that small pouch in my stomach I have read about on here from others. I have a very flat stomach, so I kinda found more amusing that it was a real thing when it appeared. I didn't gain any weight- aside from this small thing. Well, my body actually extracted it after a couple of months! I got it fully removed yesterday and I'm not joking the pouch is already gone- and I had three orgasms last night! Who knows if it's psychosomatic or not, but I am very thankful it is out and gone and I'm free of anything. I think I'm just not meant to have anything foreign (hormones or copper) in my body. Back to lambskin for me!
