birth control
"I am 24 years old, never had kids,and I'm also type one diabetic so I try to stay away from added hormones in my body. I have been told about ParaGard since I was 18, finally decided to give it a try. A few days ago I had my implantation of the iud. My Gyno let me listen to some music, took and Ibuprofen an hour before hand. It wasn't horrible pain, but it was pretty intense but nothing that wasn't manageable. During the procedure I took very deep breaths, and put pressure on my abdomen, the pain lasted 2-3 minutes. I listened to my favorite song and kept taking my deep breaths. As soon as it was over, the pain stopped. I've had slight cramps, and spotting. I also have been bloated and I think it's due to the iud."
