I loved my Paraguard until I developed cysts, but the IUD didn't cause them - I'm just prone to them when not on the pill. I can't take estrogen BC because I am factor 5 (my blood is prone to clotting), and I just got pregnant while taking the mini-pill 8 wks ago so I will probably go back to paraguard after baby :-) I didn't think it was as painful or uncomfortable as other people have... I think it's personal preference!
And I also got pregnant with our daughter on mirena forgot to mention that. Iud's are totally out for me
My friends iud traveled up and she had to surgically remove it so no thanks.
I had a friend who got pregnant on mirena so I'm iffy on iuds. I have no idea what I'm gonna use :/
I had it and loved it because it was no hormone. I plan to get it again after this one
I absolutely hated it, I had mirena and paraguard an they both had horrible side effects. Mirena was more hormones, worse periods etc. paraguard gave me ovarian cysts I had reactions to the copper it started to embed in my uterus . I will never get another iud I have friends who hated them also and refuse to get another
I had it and I loved it!! Going to get it again after this baby..I never gained any weight on it and since it is non hormonal I would think it wouldn't cause weight gain :)
