birth control
"I got the paragard inserted at the time of my C-section (May 2013). I loved the fact that it had no hormones and so my periods were very consistent. It worked wonderful for about a year and a half. Then I got pregnant (October 2015). Sadly, it was an ectopic pregnancy and had surgery the same day the doctors found out it was in my fallopian tube and not in the uterus. The hardest part was being told that there was heart activity. So I lost the baby and my left fallopian tube. Despite the scary experience I went through, I would still recommend the paragard. I don't necessarily believe the paragard IUD is to blame because it was working wonderfully,  therefore I didn't find the need for regular check-ups and believe I am part at fault."
