Birth Control
"I&#039;ve had ParaGard since March of 2015 (it&#039;s now May 2016) and am looking to have it removed. Pros: It&#039;s hormone free (huge plus if you&#039;re a breastfeeding mom and dont want your milk supply to decrease). And the insertion process wasnt so bad. Some cramping afterwards and bleeding for quite a few days after. Cons: I constantly have discharge and have to wear pantiliners on a regular basis. And I&#039;m not talking light discharge. It&#039;s thick, gooey and muscousy. I have gone to 2 different OBGYNs regarding this (to make sure I didnt have an infection) &amp; both said it&#039;s a normal side effect. It seriously grosses me out &amp; this is the main reason I am getting it taken out. My periods are also heavy and last 7-10 days. Its awful! Time for a new BC."
