"my experience with paragard is short, and anything but sweet. i had it put in on wednesday, i&#039;m having it removed monday. having it put in was painful, the cramps following insertion have been awful, and the dizziness is insane. i know this is gross, but the bleeding and the discharge that&#039;s reminiscent of passing a mucous plug during pregnancy is horrible. i have had mirena and everything was ok with it, but i&#039;m just not going to put myself through this unnecessary pain and misery... that&#039;s my experience and my opinion."
