Birth Control
"I am 24 years old, never had kids,and I&#039;m also type one diabetic so I try to stay away from added hormones in my body. I have been told about ParaGard since I was 18, finally decided to give it a try. A few days ago I had my implantation of the iud. My Gyno let me listen to some music, took and Ibuprofen an hour before hand. It wasn&#039;t horrible pain, but it was pretty intense but nothing that wasn&#039;t manageable. During the procedure I took very deep breaths, and put pressure on my abdomen, the pain lasted 2-3 minutes. I listened to my favorite song and kept taking my deep breaths. As soon as it was over, the pain stopped. I&#039;ve had slight cramps, and spotting. I also have been bloated and I think it&#039;s due to the iud."
