"Got my paraguard on my period, I'm 22 and never have had a child. My doctor numbed my uterus beforehand, the insertion was a few deep strong cramps and feeling like being prodded, but nothing too crazy. The first few hours I was having some sharp cramps, after the numbing wore off I almost went to the ER, it felt like I was having contractions and giving birth. Advil didn't help at all. My doc called in Tylenol #3 and it helped a lot mixed with Advil and the pain subsided after a few days like she said it would. 3 months in and I've already dropped 15 pounds from not being on hormones anymore! The cramps are non-existent now when I don't have my period. My periods were light-moderate and now they're heavy. My bf can't feel the strings! 8/10"
