getting copper IUD out and thinking about replacing with hormonal

people that have had the copper iud AND a hormonal IUD - question for you/your experience!

hi all, i have had the Paraguard (copper IUD) in for a little over a year. i got it in august 2024. in the beginning, it was great. i had some weird spotting for the first couple weeks, but then everything for the most part leveled out. my periods were NOT more painful (but maybe they were longer - nothing very noticeable if so). my mood was unchanged, didn't feel overly tired, and had no serious side effects.

lately, as of the last couple of months, i feel like my periods have been awful. i spot throughout the month, so i can't tell when my actual cycle starts. cramping isn't necessarily worse but i have nausea and more bathroom issues. my skin scars and i feel like cystic acne is worse. i believe myself to be vitamin D deficient, and my skin is grey and i feel fatigue and brain fog. this past week, i went to the doctor for intense bloating, cramping, and a stabbing pain on my left side after having painful intercourse. i thought my iud had shifted, but my gyno believes it to be a cyst, which i have never had before. i am waiting on my ultrasound results. i am thinking of getting mr. copper removed and the mirena put in.

those that have had the hormonal iud and the paraguard, what has been your experience?
