Birth Control
"I have been on it 3 times, have tried several types of birth control including Mirena. My switches were based on thinking I was miserable after reading these forums lol. I always come back to Paragard. 

All forms of birth control will come with side effects.I recommend getting Paragard on your period when your cervix is soft. Also I&#039;ve noticed the bleeding seems to regulate easier.  The level of pain you experience is truely based on the experience of the provider. I took 800mg of ibuprofen. Women excessive cramping should take progestin cream days 17-21 cycle. Also plan for anemia by increasing iron and zinc intake. 

Being a little bloated is worth it to me vs having no sex drive and weight gain on hormones."
