"i was on gildess for about 11/2 years. i was only on it that long because i thought my body would eventually adjust to it. i was wrong. i had my period every two weeks. i can&#039;t take this anymore and therefore i just got the paragard put in two days ago.  i pray this is the birth control that i been looking for. my doctor seemed to think that hormones were not agreeing with my body and since paragard is hormone free i would probably do well with it. i pray he is right."
