Birth Control
"I am 27, no children,  was on hbc for 10 years.  I&#039;ve had Paragard for one week and I could not be more pleased so far.  Insertion was unbearably painful,  but I went to Planned Parenthood and they give you nothing for pain or to open your cervix,  nor did they feel the need to schedule the insertion during my period.  I had a panic attack from the pain and my doctor couldn&#039;t care less.  Glad I had my husband with me!! Anyway though,  the paragard itself is amazing.  After the initial pain subsided I spent the night with a heating pad and Ibruprofen. I had cramps for the next couple days then it stopped.  I got my period 3 days after insertion, no cramps,  not heavier than normal and it was over in 3 days.  I wish I had found this sooner!"
