Paragard Is Great Posted: 10-20-07 09:00am
Hi my name is Latisha and I currently have
the paragard in place. I have been going
to a public health center for years and
the ladies there are all great so i
actually didn't pay anything for my
paragard. So for cost i couldn't tell you
how much. As far as how it's working so
far it's been a breeze. I use to be on bc
pills and they caused me many side
effects. I choose the paragard because it
has no hormones and i thought going all
natural would be best. My periods are
heavy and cramps are moderate but it only
last for a couple of days. All i have to
do is check for the string once a week!! I
actually have lost a little bit of weight
too! My cravings for weird things and
appetite have changed drastically as well
as my sex drive!! I use to want
intercourse once in a while now my
boyfriend of 9 years has to keep up with
me So good luck and i
hope this helped. I love it so far~

I had a horrible experience with the
paraguard. I bleed really heavy and had to
have it taken out after a few weeks. i
then had the mirena in and LOVED it!

I had a great experience with my paragard.
I was 18 and nulliparous when I got it
inserted. I had it for a year and a half
already and it's been great and I have no
complains. LIke Latisha I got it for free
to in a planned parenthood clinic. I have
no side effects except that my periods are
slightly longer and that's it. I cannot
guarantee that you will like paragard
since every woman is different, I will
tell you though that IUD's in general have
a higher satisfaction rate compared with
other popular bc methods like the pill,
patch and the ring and it is the least
expensive too since you only need to pay
once and it will be effective up 10 years.
So good luck and i
hope this helped. I love it so far~
