"i&#039;ve had my paragard for 10 months and it is a nightmare. my periods last 16+ days which have led to at least 5 uti&#039;s from inserting tampon after tampon. i&#039;m now also taking birth control pills to try and lessen the bleeding but it hasnt helped. 

i&#039;m 43, 1 birth, 1 miscarriage, 1 abortion. my insurance only covered the paragard after having mirena&#039;s in the past. 

i have an appt in 4 weeks to get it removed and get another mirena. this is absolute nonsense to be bleeding for over 2 weeks every month."
