"i had the paraguard put in by my midwife, who recommended i take 3 motrin beforehand. it was excruciating and didn&#039;t let up. it felt like a knife was inside my cervix, and the pain made me nauseous, dizzy, shaky, and see stars. i felt like i was going to pass out that night. the next day when i called, they ordered an emergency ultrasound. my body was trying to push the iud out and it &quot;migrated&quot; so that instead of the top of the t laying horizontal and flat, one side was poking into me. they removed it immediately and the removal was also painful, but i had relief from the stabbing pain right away. she looked at the device and it had even bent (in 24 hours). i would not recommend this device."
