"i just got my paragard today so i can only attest for the insertion. while waiting at my 6 week postnatal appointment i went out on whim and decided after reviewing a few other methods to get the paragard.  i was a bit nervous with my decision since all the reviews on here mention this excruciating pain and i had not taken and pain reliever prior to my appointment.  i asked for motrin as the nurses got everything ready. it literally took all of 2 minutes to  put in. i felt nothing painful or unusual.  i am spotting a bit but nothing that will soak a liner. i felt this was the best nursing friendly option not to mention that i won&#039;t have to worry about contraception until 2025 (fingers crossed!)."
