Whether one is better than the other will depend on your needs and body type. An IUD is convenient, and it doesn’t require taking a pill every day, which can be hard for some people to remember. Both come with side effects such as nausea, fluid retention, and breast sensitivity with the pill, or heavier periods and severe cramping with an IUD. Educating yourself, and speaking with an OBGYN is the best way to know which one is right for you, so do your research to help make your decision!
