"hi all! i wanted to share my positive experience with the copper iud. i got the paragard inserted about 2 weeks ago &amp; i love it. it was my best option since i never did well on the pill. i haven&#039;t had kids &amp; the insertion, i&#039;m going to be honest, hurt unlike anything i have ever experienced but it only lasts a few min &amp; it is nothing you can&#039;t handle. i got my period on time. it lasted heavily for 3 days/spotted for 4. i had mild cramping the first week after insertion but now i&#039;m back to myself 100% &amp; feel great (no cramps/spotting). sex &amp; orgasms are still great. every woman is different so i hope this helps you make your decision that it can be right for you. i gave it a 9 because time will tell if it is still this great in the future."
