[quote=Anonymous]I had one before pregnancy and that insertion hurt as bad as labor (just not as long and drawn out).  I had such bad cramping, nearly fainted in the office, and spent 24-48 hours on percocet.  I had very bad cramps every month and long, heavy periods.  I had it taken out after about 1.5 years and got pregnant one month later.  After I had my baby, I had a mirena put in and hated it so much because of the hormonal side effects (nausea, decreased milk supply, anxiety) that I had it removed and a new paragard inserted a few weeks later.  Insertion post partum was an absolute breeze (for both mirena and paragard).  I've had two periods since getting the paragard and they're totally fine:  minimal cramping, last 4 days, moderate to heavy flow.  I'm very happy with the paragard now that my uterus has been stretched out after having a baby.  Oh, also, I had a c-section (but dilated to 9 cm) and my insertion still didn't hurt (i've heard it can be worse if you don't have a vaginal delivery).
