"i can&#039;t give a long term review considering i&#039;ve only had the paragard for a little over 2 months. but compared to my other birth control my life has changed. i was on the nuvaring for almost 2 years, and i gained 20 pounds, i was always very moody. since switching to the paragard i&#039;ve lost 12 pounds, i&#039;m happy again and i am like i was before nuvaring.



insertion wasn&#039;t so bad, i&#039;ve never had children and it felt like a long weird cramp. i bled a little for a couple of days. the worst part was the 4 days after. i cramped non-stop, with some cramps that stopped me in my tracks. after those 4 days though, just some mucus-y discharge. it was completely covered by my insurance, and i&#039;m so happy i got it."
