"i don&#039;t usually post reviews about anything...but my experience today was something i think everyone should know. i got my paragard inserted about 1 hour ago...i was like many of the other posters on here completely terrified of getting it put in.  i will say it was not at all what i had myself talked into.  my dr walked me through each stage of the process and was able to keep me laughing through the procedure which helped a lot.  like many others say...it&#039;s an intense cramp...but if you focus on breathing deep it is literally over in 2 breaths.  i did what most people have done and took 800mg of advil and ate a nice sized lunch and am home now on my couch feeling nothing. i didn&#039;t bleed and i am thankful i did this."
