birth control
"I read tons and tons of reviews and was terrified to try paragard but my gyno told me that one of the causes of my frequent yeast infections was my nuvaring. I am terrible with pills and loved the idea of having something inserted once and never having to worry about it again. My gyno gave me a pill that dilated/softened my cervix that I took before along with 3 advil. To be honest, it was very painful. I do however have a very very small pain tolerance and it was super quick, literally the entire process was done under 2 minutes. I felt a little achey after that but that was it. It has been 5 months and I love it. To be honest my periods are much heavier and the first two were kinda rough but they are still very consistent, 5 days no more."
