"i had my paraguard for 9 1/2 years. i only have 1 child who is 14 now. i had her when i was young so i knew i didn&#039;t want to have any more kids for awhile. neither less to say, i have been with my husband now for 10 years and we both love it! other than a heavy period for the first 4 months it was smooth sailing for me since then. yes, i still have pms symptoms every month but it&#039;s no different than if i had no birth control.  now it&#039;s time for me to part ways with my paraguard because it will expire soon and i am seriously wanting to have a new one replaced. i am in my 30s now and not sure if i want to have any more kids. but my husband doesn&#039;t have any so we shall see."
