Birth Control
"I have been using the Paragard IUD for one year now. I have 2 children and don&#039;t want anymore. I tried both Mirena and Nexplanon and both caused me to have 21+ days of bleeding at a time so I had to go with the only long term option of hormone free bc I could get. Insertion was not painful, I was prescribed Misoprostol and a sonogram technician was present. The first 3-4 periods were heavy and painful but after that they became more normal. Overall I&#039;m happy with my decision to use this bc and really I&#039;m hoping this will continue to work out for as long as possible."
