"i&#039;ve had the paragard for a month now and i absolutely love it! i got it inserted 3 months after having my son and i didn&#039;t even feel them put in it. afterwards i had mild cramping and spotting for a few days, then it went away. i am breastfeeding so i have not gotten a  period yet, but my cycles have always been heavy. i would have a heavier cycle than get pregnant again so soon! or deal with synthetic hormones! the only complaint i have is the increase of discharge i have constantly. other than that i love it and would recommend it for any mother."
