birth control
"Just got Paragard inserted this morning at 0800MST. I'm a 27 year old female with 1 son (one and done).My personal experience was fast and pain free. I did take the 800mg of ibuprofen as directed, it was done by a certified midwife, she was very thorough during the process and she let me know everything she was doing. Upon having the iud inserted and placed, there was very minimal cramping. I've had periods with worse cramping, for sure. The only other slightly uncomfortable young was the speculum to hold you open but that's it. This procedure was nothing. I can't wait to track my progress being that this thing will be a part of me for the next 10 years."
