"having bad experiences with hormones in pills causing mood swings and acne i wanted to try the non hormone paragard and i was so scared of insertion i read horror and good stories on it and almost backed out but i didn&rsquo;t... a hour and a half before i took two midol and listened to music with one headphone out so i could hear the doctor and braced for the worst and it wasn&rsquo;t painful at all more like annoying! a slight pinch and a little bit of cramping and so quick he said &ldquo;i&rsquo;m almost done&rdquo; and i was in shock how fast it went - not even 5 minutes that i had been there, more like 2-3 and it was over! definitely thankful and so far so good. worth a try."
