[quote=Anonymous]I have had my paraguard in for about 6 mos now and love it!  I chose it over mirena because I was still bf and didn't want the hormones to interfere.  Insertion was uncomfortable, but as my OB put it, you had a natural childbirth, I don't want to hear any whining!  I was very, very crampy for a few hours after.  Differences in periods are hard to tell because my period didn't come back until AFTER I had the IUD inserted, so I don't know if the changes are due to baby or IUD, KWIM?  Pre-baby, average to light periods, no cramping, no PMS except for fatigue 24 hours or so before start.  Now... I spot really, really, really lightly for 3-4 days before AF really shows up (but it's kinda nice, like a warning signal or something).  First 2-3 days are REALLY heavy, but still no cramping.  Not longer at all.
Another reason I can't really tell the difference is PP I switched from tampons to a menstrual cup, which is fabulous, but it just makes things... I dunno... feel different.  I would totally do it again in a heartbeat though!
Having been on hormonal BCP for 10 years (including nuvaring) previously, I really didn't realize that maybe it was interfering with my libido.  We DTD more frequently now  :lol:[/quote]
