birth control
"Everyone has a different experience with birth control methods, and mine was terrible. I got Paragard inserted in June 27, 2013 and had it removed June 12, 2017. The insertion pain was terrible, I took  way too much of Motrin to help with the pain and it did nothing. My periods became heavy bleeding and passing clots. The bleeding was nothing compared to the pain. I cramped for a full week before my period would arrive. They woke me up in the middle of the night, I would writhe in pain. All four years my periods were regular, until my most recent period was 6.5 weeks long. All testing was inconclusive. I gained 50lb with no change in diet, and it's hormone free. Not sure why. I began getting yeast infections."
