"sooooo i decided, since i&#039;m a long-term paraguard user that i would finally review it!

honestly for me this birth control is the best way to go. i never had heavy periods before it, nor did i have cramps. i got it when i was 17 and i&#039;m 20 now. 

cons: slightly uncomfortable insertion, heavier flow &amp; bad cramping for the first 6 periods with paraguard

pros: after a few months cramps and heavy flow return to normal, it doesn&#039;t mess with your hormones, it lasts for 10 years, won&#039;t negatively affect you later in life if you are trying to conceive, is not affected by antibiotics, you don&#039;t have to remember to take a pill, you don&#039;t pay a monthly co-pay for a prescription. 

i love my iud and i am so so glad i got it!"
