"i got the paraguard inserted roughly three months ago. for most of my teenage years / beginning of my twenties i was on the demo shot. little did i know, it made me severely depressed. i&#039;ve been so scared of putting hormones back into my body ever since the demo shot. so, i decided to go with the paraguard iud. it truly felt like the best option for me. however, it&#039;s been three months of non stop heavy bleeding. sure, we all know that bleeding is just a symptom of periods. i am constantly bloated, lathargic and irritable. i personally can not tolerate it any longer and am getting it removed."
