Paraguard - Question

Hello - I am new to the community and have a question.

I had the Paraguard IUD placed in November of this year and am still experiencing horrible cramps during the time of my monthly cycle. Do the cramps ever get less intense?

Re: Paraguard - Question

  • When I got mine, I was told the cramping could last up to 9 months....but I was lucky, because it stopped almost immediately.  Check with your doc, make sure there isn't something else wrong.
  • Yeah, it only took about 2yrs though. After 3 yrs of heavy periods ( my periods were never heavy before. Even before bcp they weren't heavy.) I've had enough of this damn thing. Dh is getting snipped in a month and a half. As soon as he's good to go my paragard will be going! GL.

  • I had it for 4 years and no, they never went away.  I finally had my doc give me a standing Rx for Vicodin because of them.

    It was still (mostly) worth it, since BCP gives me migraines and/or makes me BSC.

  • I really need something stronger than motrin 800mg but I feel like a drug addict asking for anything stronger! It has been totally worth it since the VERY painful placement of it but the cramps are killer :(
