birth control
"New to paraguard,  love it. Never had kids,  want to eventually. 

Insertion was not terrible, a pinch to measure then another pinch to insert & done. I was prescribed 3 pills to soften the lining of my uterus & I guess they worked. I took aleve before & continued through the next 2 days.  

 I had my SO come with me for insertion & I'm glad I did.  I could have driven home but it was nice to be able to relax with my cramping & not worry about driving.  I'm very glad I took a half day at work!  Thermacare heat pads were my bff for the first 2 days.  I spotted on and off for 8 days but since have had regular bleeding & some cramps.  
My body adjusted well to hormone free bc & not having to remember a pill is liberating!"
