"i have had the paragard in for 3 weeks now. i got it inserted 8 weeks after my 4th baby &amp; 1st c section. ive had the mirena and didnt like the mood swings, hormones &amp; crazy periods. paragard caught my attention when i heard it was a non-hormonal bc. i am breastfeeding but i still had a period for 7 days after the insertion. since i got it put in ive had mild cramps occasionally and feel slightly bloated but im assuming my uterus is still adjusting. so far i love it! i havent had sex with it in yet so i cant comment on that. the insertion was uncomfortable but not painful. i had 3/4 of my kids natural and no epidural so my pain tolerance is very high. id still say its not painful though. i say &quot;yaaaay&quot;"
