"new to paraguard,  love it. never had kids,  want to eventually. 

insertion was not terrible, a pinch to measure then another pinch to insert &amp; done. i was prescribed 3 pills to soften the lining of my uterus &amp; i guess they worked. i took aleve before &amp; continued through the next 2 days.  

 i had my so come with me for insertion &amp; i&#039;m glad i did.  i could have driven home but it was nice to be able to relax with my cramping &amp; not worry about driving.  i&#039;m very glad i took a half day at work!  thermacare heat pads were my bff for the first 2 days.  i spotted on and off for 8 days but since have had regular bleeding &amp; some cramps.  
my body adjusted well to hormone free bc &amp; not having to remember a pill is liberating!"
