"so this is day 2 after getting paragard and am still in pain. the insertion was unbelievably bad! no kids and already heavy cycle to start. i have many tattoos so i can take the pain but i am glad that its over with. the cramps are painful and come and go! i am hopeful and will stick this out bc i can&#039;t have any hormonal bc any more due to migraines with aura and possibility of stroke with use. i can&#039;t wait for this pain to go away!"
