"i had the paragard for 6 years and it was great. i was having panic attacks and somebody told me it was a reaction to the copper, so i had the paraguard removed. most stupid decision i ever made was getting it removed. i went back to my midwife to get another paraguard and they could not get it inserted correctly. i wish i would&#039;ve kept it in. the first tine it was inserted was easy and pain free. the second time around pretty painful. it depends on the person and how it feels."
