After former President Trump was elected in 2016, it seemed like everyone was talking about IUDs.
“Nobody warned me it would hurt so much or offered any pain relief,“one said.
Yep, that’s it.

Other birth control options
When it comes to birth control, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach.

Birth control affects everyone a little differently, and should be chosen based on individual needs.
“Because of this, everybody’s response to hormones is going to be a little bit different.”

And check that you consult with your doctor, before, during, and after your selection process.
It would make life a whole lot easier than experiencing multiple waves of pain (or even one).
