birth control
"After my 2nd child we were pretty sure we were done. But getting fixed, was too permanent! I've had paragard for 6 years & overall I'm happy with it. I've tried every kind of bc pills from low to high hormones. I also used nuvaring & the depo shot. My body can't handle any kind of hormones! For me the insertion was not painful. First 2 yrs was heavy bleeding, spotting all the time & bad cramps with a period of 10-14 days. It's a little better now but I still have 7-10 day periods, 4 to 6 days of heavy bleeding. But for me the cons are worth not getting pregnant!!"
