birth control
"I've had Paragard for 6 months now and it's great. I got off Seasonique, so it was an adjustment going back to periods every month, but worth it. (Plus, I started using one of those cups and it makes life so much easier for me!) Honestly, my main concern on the pill was that I had pretty much no desire for sex and everything "down there" felt so dried up. I wanted to get off hormones, too, for all those risks, but truly, sex was the main factor. Also worth it. :)



My gyno was really good. She had me take Misoprostol before hand and 800 mg ibuprofen. The insertion was quick but yes, painful. She had me keep taking the pills the next month, then did a follow up with ultrasound to check on things.
