Ladies, whats your experience with IUDs? What kind of birth control yall are using?

21 year old, I got mine a year ago, and while my body awareness is shit, I only recognize things—especially pain—when they’re REALLY bad. I have ADHD and mild PMDD, and I heard an IUD can be an effective method. But I’ve started questioning it because my symptoms have gotten A LOT worse—CPTSD- and PMS-wise. My mood is significantly worse before and during my period, and my executive dysfunction has worsened, also being more hypervigilant.

I wanted to know if that’s a thing or just a coincidence. I have a doctor’s appointment and will probably get it removed.

What kind of birth control do you use? I have immense pain and heavy bleeding during my period without the IUD so I need advice.
