"i am 29 years old with no children, i have not been on any type of birth control for the past 3 years. my boyfriend wanted me to get on some sort of birth control.  i choose the paragard for that fact that it has no hormones and it last for 10 years. i just had it put in 3 days ago. it was hands down the worse pain i have ever felt in my life.  she had to clamp my uterus with a pair of forceps to keep it from moving away from her. the procedure took about 5- 10 minutes total.  after it was finished i sat up and immediately felt dizzy and lightheaded. i had to lay down for 10 minutes.  i then drove home and played in agony for about 3 hours.  after that it was bearable pain and cramping."
