birth control
"I have had the Paragard IUD for 3 years. Insertion was easy and painless. I got the Iud 3 months after giving birth to my second baby. I have not gotten pregnant on it. I have liked that it is hormone free. I never have to worry about taking a pill at a specific time. I have not had any weight gain or anything. However, the cramps are a little rough. They're bearable though.  I cramp bad during ovulation and period. I do get more yeast infections.  In fact at least once every 3 months. Vaginal itching. All of these are something I can deal with to not be pregnant again. It has been an effective form of birth control. I would recommend it!"
