“The goal is to flood the zone with so much anti-birth control content that young women believe we’re encountering this content organically. In reality, what we’re experiencing is a coordinated effort by right-wing actors, steadily manufacturing our consent to ban birth control—and more.”

I went into my Mirena coil insertion with a head full of horror stories.

This is my story: what happened, how it felt, and what life with an IUD has been like since.

Is it time for you to volunteer with AccessBC to continue advocating for better health, and not JUST for improving the policy problems and lack of support for IUDs?

My doctor cursed me.

The last time I saw him he mentioned that my iud was due for changing. I said that I was happy to keep it until it stopped working because hopefully it would just see me out to menopause as they can last up to 10 years. He said that as long as I understand that it probably isn't going to effectively cover as a contraception for that long he couldn't see an issue with seeing if it would last me.

It's 2 weeks later and I have cramps and spotting, and am in a FOUL mood.

I'm making an appointment to get it changed asap because I have absolutely zero interest in dealing with periods again.

Fuck you, uterus.
