"so i had the paraguard for 2 years 2 months before i had it removed last friday.  i really enjoyed the paraguard and my husband enjoyed it as well.  i had heavier periods for the most part while having the iud inserted.  up until recently my periods where retiring to normal.  now your asking why did you have it removed?? i noticed that i was a weeks late for my period and i had breast tenderness.  so i thought to myself no way or can i really be pregnant?  so i took a pregnancy test a week and two days ago and of course it was positive.  i thought to myself i have two kids already i&#039;m almost 33 and i have an iud how can this be.  so if you get the iud just keep in mind you could be part of the 1% that gets pregnant like me."
