"paragard update: it&#039;s been exactly 2 months since i&#039;ve have my paragard placed. pros: don&#039;t have to worry about taking a pill daily anymore, no hormonal side effects, &amp; most importantly, no pregnancy :). cons: i can feel the presence of the iud during sex every now and then, or randomly if i cough or laugh. my gyno/other iud users i know said my body needs more time to adjust, but i hate feeling it. another con is the heavy bleeding (went from 3-4 days pds. to 1 week pds.), but that should also adjust over time. i can&#039;t say i love it yet, but i&#039;m willing to give it more time. no birth control method is perfect, but you have to be willing to give it a shot if the pros outweigh the cons. in my opinion, nothing&#039;s worse than that pill!"
