Paragard?

This will be a post and run because I'm at work and don't have a lot of time. I know we've talked about mirena before and a lot of us are not big fans of it. My h and I had a come to Jesus talk last night and we are pretty sure that a lot of my issues are stemming from the mirena (pretty bad mood swings, depression, zero sex drive). I like the idea of a low maintenance iud, so I'm considering switching to paragard now. Does anybody have one? Do you love it? Hate it? Want to recommend some other amazing birth control?

    I have it and love it. I can't deal with hormones, they mess with me especially with high doses, and actually can contribute to migraines according to my OB. So I got this and it has worked really well doing it's job since I'm not KTFU.  :D  I've been dealing with my sex drive being lower since I've gotten older, but that's to be expected and not from the IUD.

    Even a minor event in the life of a child is an event of that child's world and thus a world event.

    Have it and don't love it but don't hate it. It makes me a bit more crampy and my periods are heavier/longer but I'm hoping its because I've only had 3 post-partum and they'll get better like pp said. I feel like I have random pain down there sometimes but it could be ovulation pains and maybe sometimes gas. Haha.
