"i am 18 years old with no kids and i decided to try out  paragard  . i&#039;ve been having it for almost two months now and i have to say it&#039;s amazing . the process of putting it on was very painful . i never had a pelvic exam done so that by itself was painful . i don&#039;t really remember the process . i was so nervous and a little scared i didn&#039;t know what to expect . when she inserted the iud it was like a very sharp cramping pain . i let out a scream . the whole procedure took about 10 min . after that i felt very uncomfortable. i wasn&#039;t in severe pain but it was painful . the next day i was in agonazing pain . i wanted to head to the hospital  . it was cramping to the point where i couldn&#039;t even stand . warm showers would lessen the pain ."
