birth control
"Had ParaGard inserted one month ago today. I'm 44 and gave birth twice.  Only a pinch was felt and the whole process took about 10 minutes.  I did have my period.  I took 2 Advil before the procedure.  No cramping or pain at all after. First period after the insertion was 3 days of INTENSE bleeding. Then 3-4 days of light bleeding.  Some light spotting in between periods. Boyfriend hasn't complained he feels it but I have had light bleeding after sex.  Hoping that and the heavy periods deminish after a few months.  I would definitely recommend."
