birth control
"I had the paragard inserted around May 2015 after I had my first child on March 27th, I was attracted to the thought of it being hormone free and that I would hopefully have far fewer negative side effects that I had had thru years of trying different versions of the pill. Insertion was not bad at all for me, a tiny bit of cramping and then the worst of that was the cramping became a bit more severe when I got home and into the next day. It has stayed in place but that is honestly the only good thing I can say about it. I have never been one to have very heavy/irregular  periods or heavy cramping and since I have gotten paragard I have had the most irregular, heavy periods of my life and the cramping has been unbearable at times."
