"i had the paragard  2005-2015.  absolutely no issues.  i went this route to avoid having to take a pill everyday or take time out of my schedule for a visit to an office for a shot.  



i was 31 when it was inserted.  at the 10 year mark i wanted to get it replaced, ended up getting mirena due to pharmacy ordering issues.  it&#039;s been just over a year with the mirena and i am requesting to have it switched to the paragard. although mirena is low dose hormone iud, supposedly restricted to the cervical/uterine location, i prefer just knowing there are no additional hormones ."
