"after having my 3rd child i had the paragard inserted march 2017. i thought it was a great option because it was hormone free. i got my first period and it was normal but in april i did not get a period at all and was worried i was pregnant. the past month i have been severely bloated to the point that i look 5 months pregnant. it&#039;s not the baby weight because i had been working out 5 days a week and my stomach was relatively flat again until the last month. the bloating is very uncomfortable as well. it is now may 2017 and for the past two weeks i have been nauseous, had cramps and been spotting. i finally got my period yesterday and it is very heavy to the point i bled through two outfits. i used to have a light period that lasted 2 days."
