Birth Control
"1st off: this is my 4th time with an IUD.  The 1st Paraguard I got while lactating and not having periods...clinician couldn&#039;t get IUD in and 2nd time trying she forced it in.  Perforated my uterus..had to have 2 surgeries to have it removed.  Then years later had Paraguard again..this time they did a paracervical block and the insertion was painless.  My periods were so heavy though and without realizing it I think I became severely anemic.  I had it removed and within 2 weeks started to feel alive and normal again.  That is when I realized I must have been anemic.   Years later I had Mirena put in due to my long spotting periods.  Couldn&#039;t tolerate the hormones. Have another Paraguay now for 2 years and I  am exhausted all the time."
