Birth Control
"I am 21, never had kids, have regular periods that are light-medium, and am very active. I recently got the Paragard inserted. The insertion was only painful for a brief 3 seconds (I also forgot to take ibuprofen before my appointment). The next few days consisted of some strong cramping that came in cycles, but it only required one dose of 400mg of ibuprofen a day to help with that. I only have some light spotting that requires panty liners, however, the cramps and spotting are decreasing with each day. Had sex on day 3 and everything felt normal! It is now day 5 for me and I have resumed working out with moderate intensity. Don&#039;t listen to the horror stories, you may be one of those lucky people (like me) that have a good experience!"
