Gilly, why don't you try Paragard? I have the IUD that lasts for ten years (you can remove it at any time and resume with getting pregnant). Some of the side effects are heavier and longer periods (mine used to be light and 5 days long, once I got the IUD it was heavy for about the first 4 days and lasts 7-8 days). Once I started using herbs for NBE, I have noticed a lighter period and shorter as well. You may experience cramps as well. But to be honest, the benefits are definitely worth it. Another thing though, there is a chance that it may get stuck (low chance I believe), which would require a surgery. My mom had hers removed already after over 7 years of having it and didn't have it stuck. I have had mine for 4 years.
