Birth Control
"After reading negative reviews before my procedure, I wanted to share my positive experience in hopes to reassure girls thinking about getting paragard. I took 800 mg of ibuprofen and an anti-anxiety pill 1 hour before because I was nervous. The actually insertion took about two minutes. There&#039;s one cramp when holding on to the uterus to keep it in place, and one more cramp to measure the uterus and insert the device. That was it! The cramp felt exactly the same as menstrual cramps. I&#039;ve experieced some spotting and cramping since, but not too bad. I&#039;m managing that with pads and ibuprofen. No remembering to take the pill, no hormones making me sad, moody and depressed, and I have one of the most effective and easy birth controls out there!"
