Birth Control
"Got paragard on April 19th, holy cow it was a painful insertion. I was tense which made it even worse. Relax and spread those legs is the best advice I can give. The insertion felt like a knife in my uterus, followed by a mega period cramp. The following days were full of cramps and bleeding. The 3rd day blood just came out like a stream. The cramps are bearable but I can&#039;t survive without pain relievers. Im just excited to adjust to the iud, gonna be a long wait. I know it&#039;s painful but better than the pill. The pill scared me because of chest pain and leg numbness."
