"i got the paragard five weeks postpartum without doing any research. i had just had my second child vaginally, insertion was painless, just a slight pinch. i had a little cramping and heavier bleeding (i was still bleeding some pp). the next day i noticed that my discharge smelled a bit metallic. i metallic discharge drove me crazy so i got the iud removed two weeks later. removal was quick and painless. light pink bleeding after and little cramping. smelly discharge was completely gone right after removal! 



insertion was $0 since it was my pp visit, removal was my office visit co-pay of $30."
