"i got my paragard about 3 days ago. the procedure itself was by far the most pain i have ever felt in my life, i did take some pain reliever before hand and right after i left the office and had almost no relief, for the first night the pain was so bad it was waking me out of my sleep. for the past 2 days i have had cramping that comes and goes all day long and still having some spotting here and there, i am hoping this cramping stops soon as they are more intense then what i am used to with my period."
