"since most of the reviews are from gals who have just recently gotten their paragard, i thought i&#039;d post about my experience since i&#039;ve had mine for 3 years. everything has been relatively good with my paragard up until recently. i became a vegan last july, so i haven&#039;t been getting very much iron or zinc in my diet. recently i&#039;ve experienced  some pretty dramatic hair loss. after i shower i have a palm sized ball of hair left in the shower. my hair is falling out in chunks! i am 31 years old with no health issues. i have never had any issues like this in my life nor is this hereditary. i started researching copper toxicity and anemia as two possible reasons and will start supplementing! i may no longer need bc if i end up bald! lol"
