birth control
"I had the ParaGard inserted on April 1st. The day after, I broke in a rash all over the trunk of my body. It wasn't bothersome, and I was too occupied dealing with those killer cramps. Later the next week the rash started itching so I called and was told to take Benadryl because I didn't want to have it removed when my body might adjust. The rash only got worse so I ended up having to have it removed. This obviously was not the IUD's fault and I would have loved to keep it in because it contains no hormones. It was quite painful going in, I won't lie. But it's manageable, you might think you're dying but you're not. Be sure to take a few days off work, dope up on Advil or other pain relieving drugs and rest! My heating pad worked wonders."
