Paragard BC?

edited November 2011 in Pregnant
Anyone ever use this IUD birthcontrol? My bff just had her baby also and is going to go on this and it caught my attention bcuz its hormone free.

  • I'm in a situation debating between that one and the mirena which has hormones, what are the benefits of having the IUD without hormones??
  • I know my midwife told me with the paragard periods are longer and heavier. Opposed to a IUD with hormones light & short periods, she was pushing me a lot towards the Mirena and saying how some women don't even get a period which is great in her opinion but that doesn't seem normal to me -.- its concerning and I need to think quick cause my six week check up is Friday and I'm still undecided!!!
  • @JnetteP The downside of the bc hormones for me personally were breaking out and moodiness, I was taking Yaz bfor and although it kept my skin clear I was an emotional wreck at times lol...my bf can testify. Once I got off of it I felt a big difference in my mood.

  • @2BeForgotten ugh longer periods? I'm gonna have to read into it more before I make a choice, I hate having to take bc but I dont want to get preg TOO soon.
  • I get terribly sick and have daily migraines on any type of bc. my ob reccomended the paragaurd since it is horomone free but i read a lot of women have frequent vaginal infections while on it

    Bump:)
  • I had it...I'm now pregnant lol it didn't work, it also gave me horrible cramps the 1st day or 2 of my period along with clotting. Neither of which I had before
  • I just got it a few days ago. I took Ibprofin an hour before and it didn't hurt much getting it in. my doctor recommended getting it while on my period. I see why now. It causes cramping and bleeding. I chose it because its hormone free. I'm Already dealing with a bad case of ppd so I didn't need anymore hormones.
  • @JuliansMommy Oh Panchito we understand eachother so well! [..] lol

    @Jess510 I hope it works for you!
