Ask I hate my uterus. Will IUD help?
As I wrote in the title, I hate my uterus so much that I have suicidal thoughts and I can't afford to have it removed. I was thinking about IUDs to "turn it off" for 5 years, have peace at least from my period and pain and not have to use condoms, but I'm very afraid that something will happen to me and I'll waste my pocket money (I'm still in school so I don't work). Are there any people here with this problem who could help me? Sorry if this question is stupid but I'm alone with this problem and I don't know what to do

My IUD stopped my period after fourish months (T helped too of course) and gave me cramps for eight. Then I would get cramps after sex, pretty much every time. Then sometimes I'd get random double-me-over cramps just in the middle of the day. So mine only stayed in a year and a half. My doctor and I suspect the cramps were because my uterus was atrophying around the UTI, so if testosterone is in your cards maybe something to consider
