Birth Control
"Just a bit of info before I share my experience. I never had kids. Recommend taking 4 pills of Ibuprofen with food before your IUD placement 1 hr before. My pain level is not very good so that is another thing to keep in mind. I chose paragard because hormones BCP makes me gain over 30 lb in 1 year was on ortho lo and nuva ring. Did not like it at all. Paragard IUD so far placement was painful. Most painful part was dilation and placement of IUD. Pain is like abdominal and vaginal cramps that are 7/10 scale. my periods are heavy I&#039;m lucky to not have cramping on my IUD but man I had really heavy period for 3 weeks. Dr. State that this is normal. Other than that my appetite is back to normal. Weight is finally dropping too. Very happy."
