"had paragard inserted one month ago today. i&#039;m 44 and gave birth twice.  only a pinch was felt and the whole process took about 10 minutes.  i did have my period.  i took 2 advil before the procedure.  no cramping or pain at all after. first period after the insertion was 3 days of intense bleeding. then 3-4 days of light bleeding.  some light spotting in between periods. boyfriend hasn&#039;t complained he feels it but i have had light bleeding after sex.  hoping that and the heavy periods deminish after a few months.  i would definitely recommend."
