"i had gotten the paragard after i had my third child. after being on it for a year i started to miss my period and was having all the signs of being pregnant. i went into my yearly check up and the doctor informed me the iud looked good and in place. four weeks later i started to bleed very bad and pass huge clots and in one of those clots was the paragrad i ended up going into the er and found out i was 12 weeks pregnant and having a miscarriage. i ended up pregnant on the paragrad within a year and lost my baby due to it.  i will never get another iud."
