"i had paragard inserted in july 2016.  iread reviews online &amp; expected the worst.  i took 3 aleve beforehand. during the procedure i had 3 intense cramps &amp; it was done.  i had a small amount of spotting that day, no cramping, felt fine the next day. my 1st period came with the paragard i had brown spotting a few day before it actually started, it was a little hard to tell when it actually started. read online that many users had bloody masacres on their periods, mine was suprisingly light.   few weeks later i noticed foul fishy odor, went to my ob &amp; had bv (never had this before).  the next month i got bv again was told it was normal. flash forward dec 16, i had horrible stabbing pains, had an ultrasound, was told my iud was falling out, so they took it out &amp; i was given plan b."
