birth control
"I gave it more than a 1 because it did prevent me from getting pregnant while I had it. I had mine for 7 years, then had it removed with hopes of starting a family. When I had it removed by my Dr, it broke, and only part of it came out. I don't want to scare you, I know many women who have loved their Paragards and had great experiences. But mine was not so great. The piece that did not come out was embedded in my uterus. I had to have it surgically removed. The surgery cost over $90,000 before insurance. It took us a year and a half to get pregnant. I had a bunch of fertility tests done, and my husband and I are both fine. I can't prove the difficulty is from this experience, but it is possible. That is my experience."
