"i&#039;ve had the paragard for 10 years, having it removed tomorrow bc it&#039;s time. i&#039;m not replacing it bc i no longer need birth control. i&#039;m apprehensive about the removal bc putting it is was excruciating. mind bending pain during insertion. but it was worth it. i&#039;ve had 10 years of worry free birth control that i didn&#039;t have to think about. i would absolutely recommend paragard to my daughter in the future"
