Tldr; Getting a Hormonal IUD has given me years of my life back, where I don’t have to worry about getting pregnant or experience excruciatingly painful periods. People are worried about the hormones in my birth control. When I mention that I was on the pill and now have a Hormonal IUD, people ask me, “Can’t you feel all those unnatural chemicals pumping all around your body? Aren’t those hormones turning you into a depressed, cancer-prone maniac?” I know that the fear around hormones comes from a good place. Other people want me to live a long, healthy and happy life, and they think that being “natural” i.e., not using hormonal birth control, is the right way to do that. What they do not know is that for me, and for plenty of others who have a vagina, taking hormonal birth control is much safer for us than letting nature take its course.
