"i had paragard placed 7 weeks ago. i went into it fearing the worst based on reviews i&#039;d read, but i have nothing but positive things to say about this iud. i didn&#039;t feel a thing during placement - not so much as even a twinge - but that may be due to the fact that i&#039;ve given birth to four babies. i spotted for several days afterward until my period started. my period was neither heavier nor longer than usual and my cramps seemed to be no worse than before paragard. i had zero spotting for the rest of that month and started my second period right on time.  overall, i haven&rsquo;t really noticed any changes since being on paragard and i couldn&rsquo;t be happier with it!"
