"i recently had my paragard removed after approximately 7 years.  i had a few heavy periods but not a big deal.  i understand that some people have more trouble than others.  however, some people also can handle less than others. i had my child at 37 (at this time i was financially and emotionally able to take care of a child without financial support)  it was an easy birth and i was up, showered and fine within a few hours.  i did raise her on my own...note to women (and men), if you decide to have a child, know that you may be doing it on your own so do not depend on anybody else ( or taxpayers) to pay for or  your child. 
i like this form of birth control as it did not require me to remember pills and no way i could &quot;accidentally&quot;  ;) get pregnant"
