"i had the paragard inserted yesterday. i was sick of being on hormones, this year would have been 10 years on the depo. i haven&#039;t had any children. the insertion was painful and a very strange pain for someone who has never had children. however, for me, the cramps and spasms that occurred afterwards were the worst part. i actually vomited from the pain and it took me around 2 hours to stand up without passing out or panicking. i was prescribed oxycodone for the pain and some nausea pills. yesterday i was in a lot of pain but today i&#039;m feeling lots better! my pain tolerance is pretty high but those cramps kicked my bum! i will update on everything in a few weeks. make sure you have someone with you during insertion to hold your hand! :)"
