- It's been a crying sort of day...I'm pretty sure this video wins as the most depressing video on my channel. We all have emotional days here and there... I am not embarrassed or afraid to share with all of you my vulnerable side. I find that making videos on "how I feel" and "where I am in my life" helps me move forward and to strive to be the best that I can be, even when the subjects aren't as exciting or fun to discuss/share. Love yourself, love your life!
This period was definitely an interesting one...... I still recommend the Copper IUD. ( I KNOW I SAID MY PERIOD WAS 16 DAYS LONG WHEN I MADE THIS VIDEO BUT IT'S ACTUALLY STILLLLL CONTINUING I"M ON DAY 20 NOW!)
Iron rich foods are going to be ur best friend especially if anyone does have the copper iud. I had mine for 8 1/2 years got it taken out and another new one put in today. so from my experience my periods are 30 percent heavier than the normal. so I eat high iron rich foods. Pumkin seed oil a table spoon a day . hope this information has been helpful
Thank you for sharing your experience on my page. I have actually been experiencing regular periods lately, not too heavy or too light. I am FINALLY adjusting more than before... I eat a lot of salad with each of my meals and feel better than ever. I also eat flaxseeds every day in my smoothies, oatmeal, etc. :) Happy you enjoy the IUD!!
Bia cat hi, that's amazing that you were able to keep it for that long. What is your experience with it over the 8 years, tell me the good, bad ,and ugly, please😯
I found you through your iud videos and then thought it was awesome you're vegan, cause I am too and I'm super passionate about it! Your videos are awesome, keep doing what your doing, your content is great :)
ellie cassedy ahhhhh yes !!! Welcome to my channel, sooo glad to meet another sweet and awesome vegan like yourself !! I very much appreciate your support and kind words. People like you keep me going !! Every chance I get I am going to be creating new footage, trying to get my channel as active as possible!! Thank you so much girl :)
So good to hear from you. I've been so emotional too lately.
Korrina Hopkins sooooo uncomfortable 😣 do you usually get overly emotionally around your period too? I'm not use to it at all.
I do now with the copper iud. So emotional around my period. The only change I've notice with my period is its really heavy but I've been using the diva cup and it truly is a life saver! Also it was a week late last month! But my weight hasn't changed and my skin looks good! One negative thing is it give me a yeast infection. :/
Korrina Hopkins yes the period I had before this one, my period was definitely heavier, but yes the diva cup is a life savor... okay have you tried using garlic / coconut oil to help stabilize your PH levels ?! It helped me for the first couple months and now I don't have to use them anymore! So happy I'm not alone on this emotional rollercoaster, seriously felt like the end of the world yesterday for no real reason at all haha glad to have your support and involvement on my channel!!!
I've never tired that before. I'll give it a go because I'm getting tired of this yeast infection! also I'm happy I'm not alone too because sometimes I feel like I'm losing it!! We just have to remind ourselves it will get better.
So when you put the garlic in your vagina do you attach it to something?
Your videos about the IUD have been very helpful to me! I like how honest you are. Im not fond of the long periods thing though!
I feel you on the hormonal thing girl... I quit BC pills in March and am about to start my 3rd period and I am so hormonal... Definitely reminded me of high school when I wasn't on BC pills... TMI but I don't even know how to handle ovulation because I didn't even have a sex drive on BC pills. lol I'm all over the place but I definitely feel a lot better emotionally than I did when I was on pills... They made me feel too "stable" if that makes sense... Like I didn't feel anything and I was on the same level emotionally every day of every month. Also, since stopping them my eczema and acne (which I never had until I was adult) have gotten SO much better!! Glad I quit them! Getting my Paragard IUD in this July- thanks for the positive feedback!! PS- I'm vegan too :)
SO happpy you understand me and know what I'm going through! That is sooo interesting that BC pills didn't give you a drive! Yeah seriously HORMONES ARE AWFUL!!! This sensitivity I am going through isn't fun, but I am hoping that eventually everything emotionally gets better. Now that I think about it, I wasn't ever REALLY emotional on BC pills either.... OH MY GOSH YES that's such great news that your eczema and acne are clearing! Thank you so much for sharing your experience and information on my channel, this could really help other girls who are going through similar things as us. Let me know how it goes in July/ follow up with me with the IUD ! If you have any questions just ask/let me know any particular videos you would like me to make! SO EXCITED TO MEET ANOTHER VEGAN!!! WOOO! :)
I can't wait to get paragard in 2 weeks. Same here pills have zapped my sex drive. :(
This video came at the PERFECT time! I commented on your other video about the IUD but I didn't get it during my last period. Now, today I set my appointment for the end of this month. It just became so real! Im freaking out but excited to have piece of mind. They recommend I take 800 ml of Motrin or Ib before hand and a full meal. Even if the "pinch" hurts its gonna be WAY better than a baby coming through LOL
Breann LaFaye congrats girl for going through with this !!! Don't let all the CZcams videos get to you! I wish you all the best and know everything will work out well for you in the end! Thank you for sharing yourself on my channel, definitely keep me super updated on everything, if you have any questions I'm always here ! :)
Thank you! I've watched more videos on IUDs than I'd like to admit but I found yours the most helpful. We are the same age, women of color and vegan!
Breann LaFaye OH MY GOSH YES we are basically twins then !!!! Pretty soon you will be part of the IUD club as well woot woot haha! That makes me so happy to hear that from you, people like you are who encourage me to make more videos :) thank you !
We really are! :-) And please continue making videos! They are helpful and so interesting. I rewatched your videos and Im curious if it was the transition off the hormones that made you emotional or the IUD?
Breann LaFaye I've been asking myself the same question.... I think it is my period being fully off hormones plus all the work I've been doing (moving/ working / adulting) I'm not use to it alll... I've been eating clean food and drinking a lot of water which probably has been detoxing me as well?..., I use to NEVER get hormonal on my period with birth control pills... so maybe being off of them now my body/mind are more sensitive maybe healthier ?????
@Stephanie Raw Do you notice a copper overload and how do you keep your copper levels in balance?...do you take zinc suplements?
Adwoa I do not have any copper level inbalances that I am aware of. I have been feeling great lately! It takes a while for your body to adjust to an IUD. Thank you for commenting!
what iud you got
Zakarrah Graves I have the copper IUD which is a non-hormonal contraceptive, so I still get my period regularly!
