"i got the paragard iud inserted almost two weeks ago and it&#039;s been okay so far. when j got it inserted it felt like cramps, but nothing that i couldn&#039;t handle and i was just fine after the insertion. just some slight cramping the first week and the second week i started my period and had a lot more cramping that i&#039;m use to on a period but nothing that made me stay home from work. so far it&#039;s been pretty okay, and i will put another review in a few months to update. i&#039;ve read horror stories on this birth control but it hasn&#039;t been too bad for me. just more cramping and more bleeding on my period, and i only bled a lot for one day and cramped bad for the first day."
