"i got the paragard iud six weeks after giving birth to my first child. i chose this birth control because it is non-hormonal, and regular hormonal birth control makes me nauseous, depressed, have mood swings, and gain weight.
overall i&#039;m very pleased with the iud. insertion was not painful, and i didn&#039;t even have cramping afterwards. i can&#039;t even tell that it is there and i have no side effects at all."
