"let me be honest. the paraguard is a great birth control method because you do not need to think about it. i mean sex was fine for me , didn&#039;t feel anything but i am a paranoid and anxious person. at first i always went to the doctor thinking it moved or it was not in place. years later i got use to it. i have now had it in for 5 years. i think it is time to take it out and try to have a baby. i can tell you, if you have a high pain tolerance you are all set, all that will bother you is the heavy periods. i have been in tears for days, tired and just uncomfortable each and every month i get my period. it is sometimes unbearable."
