"i got my paragard monday march 20, 2017. insertion hurt but it wasn&#039;t life alteringly horrible. mild cramping that day, but i went home and could still live life just fine (i did laundry and made dinner). the next day i went to work and just took one ibuprofen to alleviate my super mild cramps. by wednesday i was sprinting on the treadmill, spotting completely gone. had intercourse thursday, no string felt by husband, no cramps nothing.  i will review again after my cycle, but i have never been one to have an awful period. i&#039;m a 29 year old 5 foot 105 lb female, i had previously been on the pill for 12 years."
