"i am 24 years old no kids. i don&#039;t want kids for a very long time so i am taking control. my doctor was pushing for the mirena says its the best option and gives you light periods or none at all but i refuse to deal with hormones anymore. i pushed for the paraguard because this will be my last try with bc. have tried pills (the worse ever) , the implant and nuvaring all bad side effects. after reading dramatic reviews from women i expected the worse pain ever. the whole process took maybe 10 minutes and did not hurt me at all my doctor numbed my cervix i did get super high from it but it was so funny my doctor distracted me having me use my phone and i couldn&#039;t believe it was over. with a great doctor insertion should not hurt."
