"wanted to share a positive story on here! i love the paragard and recommend it to everyone i know. i am currently 21, got my paragard inserted in july 2014 when i had just turned 19. never been pregnant or given birth. i had never been on birth control because i didn&#039;t want to use hormonal birth control or take a pill everyday. gyno prescribed misoprostol to take before the process, which i believe really helped with insertion. the iud failed to insert twice, but went through the third time, and i&#039;ve had no problems since! works perfectly with a steady boyfriend, i love the long-term use and no hormones. i highly recommend for young women who don&#039;t want to have children until their late 20&#039;s/early 30&#039;s!"
