birth control
"I've had the Paragard for about a month. I've had no problem with it. I had a C Section 11 weeks prior insertion. Insertion didn't hurt other than cramping while they were measuring how far to put my IUD. I had light cramping for about two days and spotting and bleeding for about 5 days which is expected. After that everything was great. Checked the strings everything in place. No problems. Now before I got pregnant I already had heavy periods and paragard does not help with that at all. I can't take hormonal BC due to a blood clotting mutation. When I got my first period after insertion flow was heavy which is normal for me. Cramping on the other hand was more than expected. Nothing I couldn't handle though. I give 9 out of 10."
