"This 'experience' is coming from me personally. Woman to woman. So, let me break it down for y'all. Pros: 1.) One and done-Paraguard only takes one doctors visit to insert. Then, no worries for 10 years! That's right 10 whole years. 2.) No hormones! Now I've never taken hormones but know their effect they can have on ones life. Which made my choice in birth control, fairly simple. 3.) Little to no side effects after a couple of months. If inserted correctly by your awesome doctor, you won't even feel the Paraguard. Now, the cons. 1.) The pain is real, during and after the procedure. The worst cramps you've ever had times 56 :( if you have the option have someone drive you home. And take two Advil before procedure/ invest in heating pad. GL!"
