Birth Control
"I switched from Nuvaring to Paragard because I hated the way the ring felt and wanted a nonhormonal option since I felt like Nuvaring robbed me of my libido. Insertion was uncomfortable for 30 seconds, just felt crampy afterwards. The first 6 months on Paragard were absolutely brutal. Cramps like I couldn&#039;t believe and more blood than I knew what to do with. Periods lasted for about 10 days on average. I figured it would just take time for my body to adjust. I&#039;m 2 years in and my symptoms have lessened slightly, but for the most part I&#039;m spending the better part of the month exhausted and in horrible pain. Having it removed this week and cannot wait to use a birth control that doesn&#039;t suck the life out of me. Do not recommend."
