"i have had the paragaurd copper iud for a few months now and i love it. it&#039;s great for teens considering i&#039;m almost 16 and have had no complications. the insertion was not fun, but it only took about 5 minutes and my periods have stayed the same except for a little bit worse cramps. but overall i love it and think it a great option for birth control. and plus it&#039;s non hormonal so that means no wait gain and you don&#039;t have to worry about it for 10 years (except the monthly string check). :)"
