birth control
"I have had the Paragard IUD for 6yrs now and I love it. I have had no big issues with it. I got it 6 weeks postpartum and didn't feel anything when inserted but did have some spotting. Changes I've noticed since I have it: heavier periods and heavy cramping. I have spotting up to a week before my period and cramps that are really strong. I have had more vaginal discharge, like everyday almost. And the vaginal odors are more noticeable but not horrible. BUT all this is worth it because there is no hormones, and you don't have to worry about forgetting to take a pill."
