Birth Control
"I just had my Paragard inserted about two hours ago, so I can only share my experience with the procedure itself. I read all the horror stories but understood that that was something that I should take with a grain of salt. After all, everyone&#039;s body is different and negative stories are more often shared online than the positive ones. The procedure itself only took a few minutes. The most uncomfortable part was the sounding, or measuring of my uterus. My midwife had me cough and as I did, she inserted the measuring tool. That felt like a strong cramp and it made me tense up a bit. The Paragard itself did not hurt when she inserted it. I&#039;m experiencing some mild cramping and light spotting, but nothing that a little Motrin can&#039;t fix."
