"i have two kids - both born vaginally. needless to say, my cervix is used to being stretched. i decided on the paragard (due to it being hormone free and my pre-existing mental health problems) shortly after i gave birth a year ago, but it took me a year to overcome the horror stories.



i&#039;m here to tell you that yesterday, i bit the bullet and got it done. it. was. easy. in in less than a minute. the little tube the iud slides through to deploy into your uterus looks big and painful, but take 800mg motrin before hand and you shouldn&#039;t feel anything more than a scrape and a pinch. i had a minuscule amount of spotting, and a day later i still have mild cramps, but it&#039;s nothing i can&#039;t handle. highly recommended!!!"
