"i have had the paragrad iud for 1 year and my periods are horrible i pour blood and cramp so bad i can&#039;t move. i have a period twice a month both lasting 7 days. last month my strings came out but the dr wouldn&#039;t remove it due to having to cut me open to get it out. now a month later horrid pain where i can barely move and its now embedded in my uterus. i would never recommend this to anyone. worse decision i ever made"
