Birth Control
"I have a Paraguard is great, it also has some big side effects such as super heavy (HEAVY) bleeding, long periods, and horrible cramps. I think the other side effects was my body experienced a lack of progesterone due to having the Mirena before, so trying to balance out.  8 months in with no relief, my doctor gave me microgestin which I have consistently taken at the same time daily for the past 40 days... I have also been bleeding for the last 39 days.  I think everyone is different, and I specifically need a higher dose pill as this is a low dose so I just switched over to Chanteal so hopefully that helps. No relief from headaches and acne on this pill though, and made bleeding worse!"
