I had super heavy periods, horrible PMS, mood swings, and, I think, copper toxicity, from my Paragard IUD. Some women swear by it, but it wasn't a good fit for me. I am now charting and am much happier.

Beer has never worked for me. I'm going with the eggshells this year, plus I'm putting out boards for them to hide under. I had a huge problem with slugs last year.
