my copper iud experience | removing it after 5 years
i’m glad i had the copper iud for 5 years, it was an overall positive experience. it served it’s purpose as being the best non-hormonal birth control option for me at the time.
i got the copper iud inserted in august 2019, and removed it april 2023. i’m blissfully birth control free now, and track my cycle using a free app called “flo”.
for me, one of the coolest parts of having the copper iud, was it somehow made my cycle regular. i could count on my body and in turn, connected deeper to my womb and my moon cycle. since removing it, my cycle has continued being regular. i’m grateful for that.
feel free to leave any questions down below and i’ll happily answer them.
i’m aware that each of our bodies processes are completely unique. i am sharing mine to hopefully help any curious minds, to calm any anxiety one might be having, to have an open conversation on a topic that might seem personal. wherever you’re at on your journey, and whatever birth control form you’re choosing or not choosing, i trust it’s exactly where you’re meant to be. follow the signs and follow what your own internal compass is pointing you towards. much love.

french braid w/ clip in hair extensions

hi :) before i post some videos that i've been working on for a while, i wanted to post something a little more light hearted and simple to get the ball rolling, so to speak. will definitely be doing these french braids w/ clip in hair extensions more often - it was actually quite easy, but next time i gotta use a couple more wefts so the braid is thicker. try it out! sending love, see you soon ☆

“I haven’t felt my hair in 3 years” Umm, the locs were your hair 🤯
You not supposed to have dreads in the first place tf?
You look like the crazy ippy or whatever her name is from fried green tomatoes 💕 cute!
Currently on my journey to finding what’s right for me. I’m on my third nexplanon implant and the weight gain, mood swings and low libido are really starting to make me hate it. I don’t want kids ever and get anxiety about going birth control less and tracking/using condoms solely. My partner and I have not been together long enough to make more permanent decisions like a vasectomy. I’m also apprehensive to getting my tubes tied because at 22 it’ll be a struggle to get a gyno to go forward with the procedure. I’ve been looking at IUD stories and so many people have removals before they are up and it’s just becoming hard to weigh the pros and cons of what’s right for me and my body. Was there ever a time when you struggled getting off birth control and going a more natural route to preventing pregnancy? Any tips for someone struggling with the decision currently?
hi love, thanks for your comment and for sharing your journey. if i were you - i'd connect deeper to my womb, and follow influencers like @mamadelamyco on instagram - she talks about natural birth control herbs like queen anne's lace, cotton root bark (check out her pinned post on IG) and others. i know that birth control can feel like an endless loop. i did struggle with getting off birth control, only because i was not educated correctly on the 4 phases of my cycle. learning that my fertile window is only ~5 days out of the whole month really shifted things for me. it no longer gives me anxiety, because i am aware of where i'm at in my cycle. you & your partner can choose to not make love while you're ovulating. i've been thinking of getting the "oura ring" and connecting it to "natural cycles" - i'm not currently taking my temperature every day cuz i just haven't felt i need to - but it'll be helpful to see the accuracy of where my body is at in my cycle for when my partner & i are wanting to get pregnant. you can use it for the same thing for avoiding pregnancy. imo, i feel so much better since realizing the sacredness of my womb and my bleed each month, flowing with the 4 phases of my cycle and how it pairs with the moon, i've taken my power back. i know birth control can help some people feel empowered in a sense, but i'm so over it. our wombs want to be heard and respected, haha. sending you deep breaths & peace as you navigate through this important journey, may you find an option that relaxes you and is right for you.
i got mine last week!!!
Only you can decide what’s best for your body and amazing you are so in tune with what your body is saying. Best wishes to you my friend and much love
Yes, wisdom! I see it in you. More talks please.
I got the Mirena IUD and it has hormones but not estrogen, so it actually helps to prevent cancer. It also doesn't have the effect that the copper one does with cramps and heavier bleeding. The Mirena IUD help prevent cancer, reduces bleeding and may even stop your periods and the Mirena only takes at most 4 months for your body to get use too. That being said I got the Mirena because I was having heavy bleeding due to perimenopause. The hormones in the Mirena only go to the Uterus and I will say it again helps prevent cancer.
i love the way you edit
and the experience comes full circle 💐💐
Copper toxicity is a thing!
IT SO CRAZY OVULATION WASNT KNOWN ABOUT. I literally had to explain it to my mother in law She didnt believe me until i ppanned my pregnancy exactly lol
Mine fell out my first period and then i got horrible periodds for a year, the 1st paraguard iud video after you got it was how i found you on youtube!!!
This was beautiful!
Glad you are back!
Hello u can put the name of the comb...? I cant find this kind
rat tail comb, i'm pretty sure
I had mine inserted yesterday. The pain after my insertion was immense and made me throw up. After I threw up and rested I felt much better. This morning I feel the same as yesterday, I have to take medication. I hope I don’t experience this everyday. I’ll give it two months and see if I get better.
I’m glad you did. Other races don’t look right with locs
I just got mine today! It did not hurt at all. I was very surprised. I was terrified!
I was moaning and groaning when they measured my uterus but not inserting the iud. And the pain on lasted a few seconds and I did bleed to a good three days then just spotting. Best birth control ever. It’s been about 2 weeks now and I just have light lower back cramps. But I feel fine and my partner doesn’t feel it.
Just knowing that all that dead shed hair just sits there collected in your hair for years...yikes.
Thank you
So glad you're back you talented beautiful woman.
thanks miminana! <3
I like bothhh
helpful, thank you!!! I don't have dreds, but I have the same type of hair as you and I have a huge extremely dense set of knots - I'm trying this tonight. Blessings!
Still liking your copper iud?
no - i took it out, that's one of the videos i'll be posting soon
so happy i found you on youtube. you are STILL healing others through these videos. thank you for being brave enough to share these deep feelings.
Aw loved this Bell ❤
Thank you for posting this! I've really wanted to start doing my hair like vikings, but my hair is incredibly long (to my butt) and I was worried that I would have to cut them out when I wanted to remove them. This helped me with doing some research, so thank you again!
Glad you are back!
Glad to see you back on CZcams Bell!!
welcome back @bellcoleman
thank you!

OMG i missed your videos 🥰. i just love the vibe you give

Youmake this look good. we would like to have updates on your spiritual progress.
That lowkey sounds so good I wanna try it 😭
K so I’m a bit confused.. I heard that taking birth control pills that stop ovulation can actually help REDUCE your chances of ovarian cancer 🤔. I’m honestly very on the fence about putting a foreign object that stays inside my uterus . Doesn’t seem normal. My best fr swears by her iud but said it’s extremely painful!!! Ughhhhh why do we have to go through all the worst !!?? U are super sweet tho n please don’t take my comment as mean , I really am just confused!! As women we hasuch conflicting information constantly thrown at us !! You’re great tho fr !!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I liked the dreads no matter what you look great you'd look hot with a shaved head even 😉
