"i had the paragard for about four months. the implantation procedure went well and painless (i have four kids) and the first month went by without incident. by the second month i started having unexplained nausea and dizziness, but thought nothing of it. figured it was dehydration or poor eating habits. by the end of the second month i started getting heavy periods every two weeks and the nausea/dizziness became more frequent. i could barely get out of bed in the morning no matter how many hours of sleep i got. by the time i got it removed last week, i couldn&#039;t function. nausea, dizziness, fatigue, horrible labor-like cramps in my uterus and back. i was miserable. feeling 100% better since removal."
