I would die if I couldn't have children... recently bf said he wouldn't be able to love a child that's not of his own. And so I teared a bit about how after hearing this I fear even more that I can't have kids because then I'm screwed (we could not adopt, because he wouldn't love the child so I don't want that) and would need to start breeding some kind of pets to fill out the void
though everything seems fine with me....

Hey hello!
Talking about this reminds me that I too wish I could just. Not have menstruation.

Hiii
Haha, yes, periods suck no matter what
For me it's just life and no method of getting rid of it suits me so I'll just stick to the monthly suffering

Seems like most of us wish for that 'orz
A lot of women just don't want kids anymore I suppose.
I don't want children nor periods either but I wouldn't want a partial/full hysterectomy. These hormones keep me young and also what's left of my sex drive.

kids never entirely interested me
I've heard you can get a procedure done that stops periods, and doesn't stop the hormones. I forgot what it entailed..
I feel I have a weird sex drive. I think I know the cause....but that's incredibly personal (the possible cause) and I guess something I'd have to talk to Peter about.

Ohhhhh yeah that would make sense :3 but still, stuff going inside you makes me feel weird XD I'm struggling to assimilate having bits of metal on my teeth, let alone in my body XD
On the news lately here there has been a lot of talk about these implants that they gave to women previously which were supposed to make them temporarily infertile as usual, but because they were poorly made and fitted, a lot of people ended up having so much scarring or even just having to have parts of their tubes cut out that it made them permanently infertile. But because it was "just"
women's problems no one bothered to look into it for a long time and they continued fitting the same ones to people in that time. Man, the patriarchy in the healthcare system *shakes head*

It is an IUD, indeed.
It's not Mirena though. My doctor told me that that's the oldest hormone spiral existing, about 20 years. The newer one is called jaydiss I think and exists a few years now (5 I think?) and the one I got is called kyleena and is on the market since April this year.
Mirena is the biggest one and has about 56 mg of hormones in it. My doctor recommends this only for older women.
jaydiss has about 14 mg hormones and can stay for 3 years max.
kyleena has about 19 mg hormones and can stay for 5 years.
She recommends the other two for younger women. And I chose kyleena because I think that I won't have kids until I am 27 (which is the year it will be taken out). And it costs the same as jaydiss.
It's not copper, it's hormones though. Which is safer. And in my opinion ethically better.
I want children. A lot. But just not now.

So how does it work? Does it just kind of spread the hormones into your body?

I have the Copper IUD. ^^ No hormones. No upkeep. Just have a doctor stick it in, and bam! No babies for 10 years! And if you decide hey, I want a baby now, but the ten years aren't up yet - no problems! Go to the doctor to get that sucker removed, and you are instantly fertile again! No waiting!
The downsize is is that it is a bit bigger than the hormonal ones, so it did hurt for the first month for me while my body got used to a foreign piece of plastic shoved up in me. x.x But I don't feel a thing anymore! And the peace of mind is great! :D I have crazy irregular periods, so the peace of mind is invaluable.
I also really like the flexibility. C doesn't want kids. I used to think I wouldn't be whole without children. Nowadays I'm not so sure I could take motherhood - I had a pretty fucked up childhood, as did C, and both C and I have a host of mental disorders that we don't want our kid to end up with. So I don't know what we'll do about kids. But that's a convo for when I'm in my 30's. ^^ I have a long time to figure it out. <3 The only thing that is certain right now is that we are having dogs. Lots of dogs. That is non-negotiable for me. 
Luckily C agrees - fury babies are definitely the way to go. Plus,
one of my best friends wants, like, 7 kids, and we're really close - whenever I am missing babies, I can just visit her for a week, get my yearly dose of childcare, and be set for the next 51 weeks. X'D Maybe I'll change my mind when I'm older, but for now I am just enjoying this stage of my life - happily engaged, living very cheap lifestyles, with no baggage to tie us down to any given place, free to roam as we please. <3

Fire, you are travelling a lot, aren't you? That would be difficult with children, too..
And sounds good, you can indeed visit your friend who will have 7 children :D That sure is enough for a while 0o
I want children, but currently I am not in the situation to think about them: I am studying for at least 2 (rather 2 1/2) years from now on and I do not have a boyfriend. On top of that I want a secure job before having children and my partner has to have one, too of course. Only if those three things change, I am ready to become a Mommy. Before 30 would be great.
And true, whenever you want children they can take the spiral out. That's awesome.
10 years..? It's only 3-5 years here... Interesting!
Mem,
the hormones cause the mucomembranous in/before the cervix (dictionary olé) to thicken so that sperm cannot proceed into the uterus. That's all the magic. The hormones are only given locally so that you actually feel not different at all from your normal self :)
It hurt me only the first few hours yesterday, I am feeling totally fine by now, did 80 minutes of sports in the morning
*feels super sporty now*
*but also feels the stiffness coming*
Oh! best advantage: 50% of all the women on the hormone spiral do not get their period anymore because those hormones hinder the uterus to "thicken" inside
Oh darn I am so bad with this kind of vocab
/shame on me
