"i have only had the paragard for about 3 weeks now. insertion hurt a bit because of the pressure (not as painful as a non medicated birth) but i was okay after that. i have had a period since insertion, i spotted the first 2 days, had full period 4 days and did a slight spotting on the last day. the cramps were a little different than normal but advil knocked that right out. im now noticing a kick up in my sex drive which is horrible because im celibate but grateful because on hormonal bc i would have to do everything in my power to get this feeling. i love it so far."
