[quote=Anonymous]I had my Paraguard inserted in April of 2013, I used to have very light periods but with painful cramps the first day. They lasted 3-4 days- 3 days of regular tampons and 1 of light. Discussing it with my doctor prior to insertion I knew my period might get slightly heavier- which was not an issue because they were so light to begin with.Post insertion I had spotting for a week or so that eventually went away. My periods were irregular and unpredictable for about six months. The last six months, however,  have been nothing but extremely heavy bleeding. My periods now last 7 days but are super predictable- reliably I have 3 days of spotting and painful cramps prior then,  several days of soaking through super plus tampons and panty liners but no cramps.

Its been very uncomfortable to say the least and I have an appointment with gynecology tomorrow to make sure everything is where it should be and to discuss options. Reading your experiences having better periods after a year makes me a bit hopeful. If given the option to remove it or stick with it I will definitely stick with it a while longer and see if my periods get any lighter or shorter. I definitely don't like the idea of switching to a hormone birth control- the reason why I chose paraguard in the first place. [/quote]
