"i&#039;ve had my paragard in for 8 months so far. same as everyone else, pretty crampy when getting it inserted. however love the fact that it works. the only downfall is i bleed way more. i bleed through super+ tampons in less than 8 hours. i&#039;m going to a doctor to see if i need to change the device. also, my mood swings are pretty crazy lately. i&#039;m not sure if it&#039;s the excessive bleeding or what. i want to love the paragard, but if you have known problems with low iron or thin blood it may not be right for you!"
