birth control
"Sooooo I decided, since I'm a long-term Paraguard user that I would finally review it!

Honestly for me this birth control is the best way to go. I never had heavy periods before it, nor did I have cramps. I got it when I was 17 and I'm 20 now. 

Cons: Slightly uncomfortable insertion, heavier flow & bad cramping for the first 6 periods with Paraguard

Pros: After a few months cramps and heavy flow return to normal, it doesn't mess with your hormones, IT LASTS FOR 10 YEARS, won't negatively affect you later in life if you are trying to conceive, is not affected by antibiotics, you don't have to remember to take a pill, you don't pay a monthly co-pay for a prescription. 

I LOVE my IUD and I am so so glad I got it!"
