"i got my paragard four days ago and i absolutely love it! insertion was not horrible (i&#039;ve never had kids)-it felt like a big cramp and it was over with quickly! just take two midol before the procedure. i did have mild cramps the rest of the day-but a heating pad and more midol did the trick. the next day i had cramps in the morning and i was fine the rest of the day. i feel totally back to normal and even had sex already and it feels fine. my partner cannot feel the strings and sex is much more spontaneous and fun without worry. i am getting a bit anxious for my first period with it but since mine are a bit heavy to begin with i&#039;m sure i&#039;ll be alright. would definitely recommend!"
