"i love paragard! i had skyla before this and paragard has been so much better. from the moment i got skyla, i had nonstop cramps and bleeding. it was like i could constantly feel it even though my doctor insisted it was in the correct spot. i was scared to get paragard b/c i thought it would be the same but it hasn&#039;t been at all! after the first few days i stopped cramping and bleeding and can no longer feel it at all. before you get it, i would strongly recommend asking your doctor for misoprostol to make the insertion less painful. i had it for skyla but not paragard and the insertion process was a lot worse."
