"just got my paragard 5 days ago at my 4 week postpartum checkup. i have a history of endometriosis so i was prepared to have some crazy pain at insertion. i was pleasantly surprised that it was quick and had only very slight cramping. i actually looked up and said &quot;that&#039;s it?!&quot; i had read too many terrible stories and had myself all worried for nothing. so far, the past 4 days i had bleeding like a regular period. not super heavy, just average but it could also still be postpartum bleeding too. cramps and low back pain are present but not unbearable, i took advil and i have been ok."
