"i recently had the paragard iud and i got it inserted at the age of 16. i&#039;m currently 18 and had it taken out a week ago and got the skyla inserted and i&#039;m 18 now. the paragard was terrible for me because the copper wasn&#039;t good for my uterus and my uterus was pushing the paragard out. i was having bad cramps on and off my periods with the paragard too. when i got the skyla, i had brief spotted and cramps for 1 day. also, i never had a child either but i&#039;m in college, and in a relationship with my boyfriend for 2 years now so i though that was the best option for me. so far i having good positive affects and hope it continues."
