"im 22, no kids.  i chose the paragard because it is hormone free.  i was told it would be painful, so of course i expect the worst.  its not that bad. now, don&#039;t get me wrong.  it hurts. dont make any plans for the rest of the night. i suggest a movie night with lots of cold ice cream. after the first few days you don&#039;t even feel it. it&#039;s great."
