Finally got my paraguard put in about a month ago. I just finished my first period with it in and omg! I had really sever cramping for 3 days. Its was also very heavy and lasted much longer than normal. Defiantly more pain and blood than I'd expected.
I know these are all normal side effects, but I'm just wondering if it subsides at all or will my periods always be like this from now on. I know its probably different for everyone, but just wondering if anyone's periods got less.... ummm.... crappy lets say.
Re: Ladies with paraguard
I don't have one currently but I did before LO. I had it in about a year and my periods were starting to go back to normal. The cramps got better too. The first few months were a killer though.
I'd been on the pill for several years before my iud so I was especially wimpy about having a crappy period. lol.
