birth control
"I am 28 with one child who is now five years old. 
I decided to try an IUD after becoming tired of having to take a pill every single day to prevent unwanted pregnancy. The insertion was EXTREMELY painful for me (I should note however that I due have a very low pain tolerance!) and I almost passed out. I had to lay on the table in the doctors office for 15 minutes before I felt well enough to drive home. After insertion I felt some mild cramping and spotting but nothing ibuprofen couldn't take care of. 
I have now had the paragard for 5 months and am so happy with it. My first 2 menstrual cycles were very, very heavy but they are now more normal and only last 3-4 days. 
I am so happy I got this IUD, no more hormones!"
