"i&#039;ve had my paragard for a little over two months. i have three children, all vaginally delivered so insertion was not painful.  so far, no pregnancy so it&#039;s doing the job.  however, i have noticed feeling very fatigued since about a week after i got it, as well as periods that have gone from 5 days before paragard to 11 to 12 days after. the side effects are not unbearable but they are certainty noticeable and impact my lifestyle."
