birth control
"Getting the Paragard was the best decision I have ever made for myself. For the first 3 months, I bled much heavier than normal and experienced some severe cramps. However, by the 4th month, my bleeding and cramps significantly reduced. I have a moderate flow, heavier than I had before Paragard, but it is very manageable. I cramp still, maybe once every four months. I do not like taking hormonal birth control. With Paragard, your period does not disappear (something that worried me to no end), and you don't have to worry about missing pills or dealing with weird side effects like becoming emotionally unstable (pills made me suicidal) or gaining weight. Not to mention Paragard is probably the most cost effective birth control available."
