Comparing ParaGard vs Yasmin

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.

For Birth Control Paraguard overall did work for me what it is suppose to do. I experienced my cycle for 2 weeks from the time that I have had it inserted which was in 2014. And when my before my cycle started I experienced bad cramps and soreness. And a little moody because of this all. Tolerable because I kept it in for so long. I feel as though I'd be much better off with out the heaviness of flow and moody cramping.I went in for regular check ups and concerned check ups but was told every time the symptoms are normal and that I needed to decide to keep or not. When I went to get it removed I thought it very odd the doctor telling me that new studies show that the one that I currently have in is good for two extended years that we told you then before.(total of 12 years, foreign copper object inside you)It almost seemed as if they want you to keep the IUD in. And I was convinced every appointment before getting it removed. And I it was a feeling of relief after removing.

For Birth Control So I started Yasmin on December 29, 2016 & began taking it regularly at 7:30PM to avoid unwanted nausea that's often reported by women who take it early in the morning. The first week was fine, the second week made me awfully depressed but I noticed clearer skin, and the third week brought along frequent urination which frightened me bc thats a symptom of pregnancy. But then with some online research, I found out that Yasmin definitely has a diuretic side effect that causes frequent urination. Instead of retaining the water (which causes bloating), frequent urination assisted in preventing bloating. In the third week, I had withdrawal bleeding 3 days into the inactive pills, which last about 5 days.

For Birth Control I do belive everybody experiences different symptoms. It's my third box of Yasmin and I'm probably gona give it one or two more shots but I'm thinking of quiting it. First box of my pills was a 21 day long nightmare. I had breakthrough bleeding whole month I wasn't even sure when my period started, I had huge intestinal problems. Went for two abdominal ultrasounds because of constant bloating, overly active guts and diarea/constipation (it switched every 2 or 3 days). My breasts, dear Lord, I never felt so tender in my entire life. Luckly, as the next box came, bleeding stopped so did tendernes. I still do feel bloated and gassy but it's lot better. Gonna give it one more shot but I just don't feel it's suiting me.
