Comparing Aubra vs ParaGard

For Birth Control This made my skin look beautiful! Within 2 weeks, I had a noticeable improvement in my skin. Only issue was the severe mood swings it would give me (which is why I'm not on it). I would cry for no reason and would lash out at others). I noticed how upset I would get and did not like feeling that way.

For Birth Control I'm on my third pack of aubra and so far it hasn't been well. I've been on one other oc pill and this one was worse. I have experienced extremely painful cramps and weight gain. And my face (normaly pretty clear) has broken out with so much acne and I've experienced vaginal dryness. But I'm not pregnant and it does its job. My period hasn't gotten lighter or heavier so its pretty normal. I'm debating just continuing this pill to see if my face clears up.

For Birth Control I've had it for a year and a half. Insertion hurt but was quick. At first, the cramps that came along with my period were bad, I'd stay home some nights to put a heat pad on my back and take Tylenol. Mind you, before the IUD I NEVER had cramps in my life, so thats something to keep in mind. After about 6 months, the cramps somewhat settled down, but are still present. Another thing is the heaviness of my period. Ever since I got the IUD there are always about 2 days during my period where my flow is EXTREMELY heavy. I'm talking about changing a big pad every hour or two. I began using a menstrual cup which holds much more blood, and even then I'll have to change the cup every 3-5 hours. Its during these 2 days of heavy flow that my cramps are very present, even now. Otherwise, my flow is pretty light, and my cramps are minimal. Also I get very mild cramps here and there about 5 days before my period which lets me know its coming. Its all up to whether or not the pros outweigh the cons.

For Birth Control Paragard was the first BC ever used at 27yrs old, after my second child. The first 3-6 months were horrible heavy periods but they adjusted to heavy bleeding the first 2 days of my period... Everything was going great until 2 yrs later, now 29 out of no where I started feeling heart palpitations, trouble breathing, sweating. I figured it was high blood pressure and scheduled an appointment right away. I'm perfectly healthy but was asked to get lab work done and also asked about my birth control....Doctor told me that IUD's cause heart palpitations. Lab work came back with mild Anemia, so now I'm really bummed out because I no longer feel safe with these BC options, but also after doing some research, heart palpitations may persist after removal.
