birth control
"After 4 years of painful periods my Paraguard embedded and perforated my uterus. I went to my doctor after experiencing bleeding for over a week. I was shocked to learn I was pregnant, and had to have a D&C to save my life. The Paraguard caused internal scarring and possible infertility. This was the worst experience of my life and I warn everyone to avoid this birth control method. It is ineffective and can turn life threatening. I share my personal experience to inform others of the risks, which were not fully shared with me."
