I had the IUD with no period or issue for 2 1/2 years. Had it removed a week after my wedding and was pregnant that same month... I'm 23 weeks now and after August I will get another one.... my family is very fertile and my sister literally got pregnant on pill, shot, ring and implant. Good luck

I had the IUD for 15 years never got pregnant no problems til the end when I took it out. I was supposed to have it for 10 years but my doctor just left it there since it was still working and not bothering me
But I started having a weird pain and decided to take it out my gyno sent me to get a sonogram and the reason I had pain was the IUD was pushing against a cyst. The cyst went away on its own I didn't need to do anything
The crazy thing is that I always heard if u get the iud and have it a long time you will have problems getting pregnant if at all after having it
But 10 months after taking it out I got pregnant

I had the implanon in, it made my periods super irregular, and when I did have them they lasted forever! D:
I also got pregnant while on it before the three years was up. But that's not very common lol
If it works for you then it definitely is an extremely easy option and I didn't experience any side effects. Talk to your Dr and they should be able to help :)
