I saw the Gynecologist yesterday and saw family care last week. Next week the OB/GYN is going to implant Nexplanon in my arm which is likely to help. Family care mentioned it to me last week to talk to the GYN about and the GYN said that would be a better option with less risks than the IUD since I've never been pregnant. I'd rather do the implantation in the arm than the IUD unless it doesn't work.

If there are any problems or I change my mind she can take out easily.

She said that 20% of women have their periods completely stop with this, an additional 60% say it shortens and lightens their periods, so that's 80% total. Also, the remaining 20% have long periods but they are not heavy. Even though the long periods aren't heavy I still hope I'm not among those.

I'm hopeful and it lasts for three years. No more taking a pill everyday which stopped working for my periods anyway.

Also, she ordered lab work, and she got the results today and I'm no longer anemic, so iron is helping but my iron is still low, so I need to continue taking the iron.
