"i switched from the nexplanon to the paragard and let me tell you on how much of a life saver that was! i was always moody, hungry, breaking out, and my libido was in the negatives. so i decided to toughen up and get the iud inserted. it wasn&#039;t pleasant since i hadn&#039;t had kids and did not take any painkillers but it was completely worth it! a day of extreme cramps in exchange for 12 years of no hormones and preventing pregnancy? hell yea! i can feel like myself physically and sexually again which was impossible to come by on any hormonal birth control. i highly recommend the paragard"
