"i&#039;m 23 with one child and decided to get the paragard and actually got it inserted yesterday (almost 3yrs pp) i read tons of reviews and was super scared but i knew everyone was different so i just had to see for myself. the worst part was the inserting but it didn&#039;t hurt it was just uncomfortable for about 2 minutes. i had one minor cramp that went away right after insertion. i was on day 2 of my period which possibly made it easier. i took an 800 ibuprofen an hr before and walked out fine. so far so good. bleeding hasn&#039;t increased and cramps are none existent. now on day 3 of my period and day 1 after insertion i have no complaints. hopefully it continues."
