"i had paragard inserted 3 months ago. 34 and never had children. i did a lot of research and looked up reviews online to fully know what to expect. as far as insertion, pretty on point. the major cramp started and lasted about 5 minutes. i had someone take me and drive me home. so glad i did. the cramping got worse but stopped after a short nap and i felt mild cramping throughout the rest of my cycle. my periods have been a bit irregular and have had spotting almost daily since my insertion, but i read that it is expected. my flow seems normal so far. so far i have no pain not discomfort just the light spotting and irregular periods. all seems to be good so far. i will update in a few months!"
