"the scare tactics online are so ridiculous. i understand everyone&#039;s pain tolerance is  different but what boggles me is the women who have given birth saying that this 2 min (if that) procedure is worse. i mean, really? i almost changed my mind about the paragard due to all the &quot;worst pain of my life&quot; stories. ladies, get a grip. it&#039;s really not that bad! two, quick intense period cramps that each last about 10 seconds. some mild period - like cramping after. i have an insanely low pain tolerance and all i took was 2, 500mg  naproxen. i was so scared after reading all the stories online and it was all for nothing. trust me when i say if i can tolerate the procedure, anyone can. i&#039;m a big baby. but obviously, not the biggest!"
