Birth Control
"Was on the pill for 9 months, hated it, 18 periods
I asked my Dr. about the ParaGard because I was tired of hormones that weren&#039;t my own. He told me how it&#039;s mostly for women who have had children and that it makes you cramp, bleed more, and doesn&#039;t help with acne, ovarian cancer, and ovarian cysts like the pill and other hormonal based b/c&#039;s do. But I insisted that is what I wanted and he put it in, it literally ONLY felt like a deep cramp when he opened my cervix. Now almost 4 months later all I can say is I have a period every 3 weeks now rather 4. My cramps have barely worsened. I actually love it! This month I spotted for the first 3 days and it was brown then boom she came. My periods are 13 days now, not 7. Which I don&#039;t mind at all."
