"i just received the paragard today and wanted to share about the procedure. i&#039;m 30, with 5 kids (just had twins 3 months ago today)i said &#039;over my dead body i&#039;m getting pregnant again, knowing i&#039;m prone to having twins!&#039;. i told my doc i wanted something as close to being sterile as possible without going under. so, i chose the paragard. hormone free and stays for 10yrs, or until you want it removed. the process wasn&#039;t painful. but you have to remember, the more kids you have, it&#039;s not painful. and, if you just gave birth, it&#039;s not as painful either. of course if you&#039;re uterus hasn&#039;t been through any changes, it will feel like a big cramp and discomfort. i&#039;ve spotted so far. i will keep posting on changes every month!"
