Thank you for your respones. They have really helped though I'm sorry you all have had such bad experiences. I definitely know I'm taking it out and actually excited to see what happens! I just prey it's something. So now all I have to decide is whether or not I should get the paragard. I know I have to have some sort of birth control and don't want to use barrier methods every time my boyfriend and I want to have sex. Since hormones are obviously out of the question I feel like paragard is the only option. I'm just hesitent with the fact that it is yet another IUD. Does anyone know what it's like to change from mirena to paragard or some other option for birth control?
