I got my Paragard out a little over two months ago after having it for 4 years (I think I’ve previously said 5 years, and it definitely felt like forever, but it was 4), and my uterus feels so much better. After making love with my husband, there’s no cramping or crippling pain for days, and it seems I’m having a whole lot less pain associated with ovarian and uterine cysts, too. I just had to share, because this is such a great relief! (I also think I’m losing less hair per day, too, oddly enough!)
