"23, no kids, 1  year. i am one of the lucky statistics that for some unknown reason, expels iuds. (twice now with the paragard) but i did want to share despite that, my positive experience in general. being young i knew this would be a convenient means of longterm birth control   the no hormone aspect really enticed me. have had bad experiences with nexplanon and pills. insertion: wasn&#039;t horrible for me, felt like a weird really invasive pap that clamped down inside you for 5 seconds. 2 days of cramping and heavy bleeding after. positives: convenience, no weight gain, acne, hair loss or anything like that. negatives: heavier period bleeding, possibly painful sex. my cervix was super sensitive and sex was less pleasurable than before."
