birth control
"I have had my paraguard for almost 7 months. I am 20 years old, no kids. Before the paraguard I was on a low dosage birth control and it was horrible for my body. the pill made me gain an incredible amount of weight, I had terrible mood swings and lost hair. My gyno suggested the paraguard because it was hormone free and lasted 10 years. Getting it inserted was one of the most excruciating experiences of my life. I threw up immediately after and almost passed out. The next two days I couldnt get out of bed due to the horrible cramps. Besides the first few days I absolutely love the paraguard. My periods are normal and I'm back to my old self. I suggest it for anyone whose thinking about it but just be ready for a few days of pain"
