Ever since I got the Paragard IUD nearly 4 months ago, I've had nothing but PROBLEMS. Excessive bleeding during my period, vaginal infections, acne and extremely tender breasts. The bleeding is so bad that despite using super plus pads, my clothes get ruined. I go through pads once every 2 hours. I will be having the IUD removed next month because I can't go through this misery anymore. Is having a menstrual cycle even natural?
