"i went and had my paragard inserted about a month ago . the procedure was honestly sooooo terrifying (never had children &amp; cramps are always painful) but it didn&#039;t hurt as much as i thought. once you relax the insertion is really easy &amp; quick . i did spot for a couple days after but i was told thats normal. the cramps the paragard gave me felt nothing like my normal period cramps. it was a few sharp pains in my abdominals but thats it. me nor my partner are uncomfortable during intercourse &amp; the 10 year plan is definitely a plus. highly recommend the paragard for young ladies who aren&#039;t looking to start a family anytime soon or have had trouble remembering to take the pill . i almost forgot , who doesnt love a harmone free birth control "
