My husband and I are considering for me to get paragard. I have taken the combined bc pill since June 2022 with little issue aside from large mood alteration. Not a big deal though, I'm handling that all fine. In about january, I started spotting randomly. I've n e v e r spotted, or hard irregularities to my periods. So this was very concerning to me of course. Period came and all is well, don't know what the spotting was about. Oh, and it was paired with pretty vicious nausea, so that also raised huge concerns that I may be pregnant. I have since come to the partial conclusion that when my psychiatrist increases my wellbutrin, I get nasty nausea really bad. However, I have found myself completely freaking out and constantly anxious and in panic as i wait for my period because I'm terrified I've gotten pregnant, and it's killing intimacy with my husband and myself. I always take my pill on time everyday, we use condoms. I asked my gyn and she said her best recommendation is adding a copper iud to my bc pills as extra reassurance. I've read a ton of horror stories though about how horrible many people's experiences have been, so I'm really scared about it too. I wanna know how many of you had really painful insertions, mildly painful insertions, or surprisingly pleasant insertion. Also, how awkward was it when your doctor was doing the insertion and fitting? I'm so nervous but I don't know another option. Any insight is welcomed, thanks guys
