You Could Have Warned Me

Dear IUD,

I got you to stop my periods and hopefully the pain that comes with them from my endo and you do that well! I can work and go for walks on my period now, and my bleeding is very light.

That said, why didn't my doc warn me that my first period with you would be so much worse? I was so freaked out when I was in more pain than normal and when I called the doctor she said it was 'not unusual'.

It would also be nice if you could convince my PMS to leave, but the lack of bleeding is enough for now.
