Thanks to this sub, I’m getting an IUD!

So sometime ago I posted here asking about my options. I’m very sensitive to hormones and I hate condoms (I actually think I might have a mild latex allergy??? I get weird burning after sex with a condom.) I initially didn’t want to go for the IUD, but after lurking for a while on this sub I saw a thread where someone commented that IUD insertion after having a baby was actually uneventful. I asked my due date group and they pretty much confirmed that it’s a piece of cake compared to getting one pre-pregnancy. I consulted with my OBGYN who said that, yes, it would probably hurt less because I’ve had a baby, and that we’d wait for my next period to put it in so that my cervix would be even more open. So I’m waiting for my period to come any day now, and I’ll be joining Team Paragard soon! I’m actually really excited!

I just want to thank everyone on here, your willingness to share your experiences help lurkers like me take the plunge.
