"Everyone makes the paragard out to be some big bad monster. The ONLY negative thing about getting off the pill and onto the paragard for me was I've had a little bit of acne since I'm not on hormones anymore. It felt like a pinch when I got it inserted. I had moderate cramps for two days and that's it, and it didn't make my period heavier AT ALL. It really isn't that bad! The only worry I had was that there were 43 days between my first and second period on paragard."
