"i&#039;m 32 and i&#039;ve had the paragrad for 6 years now. i got it after having my daughter at 26. it was recommended to me due to blood clotting issues and hormones. i went in to see my gyn and it took about 5 minutes. it was inserted 6 weeks after having my baby. it didn&#039;t hurt just felt like a pinch. it works great! my husband and i love it! the heavy periods &amp; spotting occasionally is worth it. recently, i have experienced some back pains but it goes away and it doesn&#039;t happen often. i totally recommend it. #thumsup"
