"i got my paragard iud 6 months ago and i love it!. yes there is still occasionally spotting and my period is a little heavier than it used to be, but i won&#039;t have to worry about pregnancy for the next 10-12 years. if i want to become pregnant during that time it is only a matter of a doctors appointment and a little tug then boom pregnancy is possible. 



the insertion did hurt a lot. like severe cramping for a few seconds and then a bit more cramping for the next day or so. after that i have lighter cramps for a few weeks, but it was completely worth it to not have to worry about hormones (which my body hates) or unexpected pregnancy. the only reason this review is a 9/10 is because my period is heavier and cramping is a more than before."
