birth control
"I had the paragard  2005-2015.  Absolutely no issues.  I went this route to avoid having to take a pill everyday or take time out of my schedule for a visit to an office for a shot.  



I was 31 when it was inserted.  At the 10 year mark I wanted to get it replaced, ended up getting Mirena due to pharmacy ordering issues.  It's been just over a year with the Mirena and I am requesting to have it switched to the ParaGard. Although Mirena is low dose hormone IUD, supposedly restricted to the cervical/uterine location, I prefer just knowing there are no additional hormones ."
