"i cant even express the hate i have for this bc. of course, i know everyone will not have the same experience. i decided to go with paragard after my second child because  i wanted to try something non-hormonal. i have had it for almost a year now.i bleed, and bleed, and bleed some more. heavy  bleeding. this maybe tmi, but i filll up an ultra sized tampon in less than an hour. i wake up some mornings with blood stained panties and sheets. and this doesn&#039;t just go on for a few days. when i do have my periods, they last for about two weeks. and many times, i have spotting in between. i never know when to expect my period, its all over the place. plus, my husband can feel it , it pokes him during sex. not fun!- and yes it is inserted correct"
