Birth Control
"I got my Paragard about two months ago now. I love it! The only negatives I&#039;ve encountered because of it is very intense cramps during the first four days of my period and occasional spotting while I&#039;m not on my period, both of which I&#039;ve never had to deal with before getting it inserted. As for the cramps- they&#039;re terrible (and I would describe myself as having a high pain tolerance), and can leave me short of breath if I don&#039;t keep up to date with Midol and Pamprin for the first 4-5 days of my cycle. If I do, it&#039;s completely manageable!"
