I’ve been freaking myself out all day with Google! I got my Paraguard last Friday! This made me feel a million times better! I already don’t like receiving any oral action I’d rather give it, but my boyfriend loves it (the things we do for men). Needless to say from the cramps to smells, tastes and horror stories you have calmed me nerves! So thank you!

You’re welcome! If this helps anyone in any way, it’s worth it. Good luck with Paraguard. I’ve never regretted getting it, and my periods have really evened out over the years.

Hi Joan -

Thanks for your comment. I did notice a change, it’s “more” but not to the point where it interferes with anything.

“You will bleed and bleed and bleed and you will be scared because you don’t understand why you are bleeding. You will Google it when you get home and find out that this is normal, and that you might bleed for another three or four days.”

Yes, exactly, someone understands! My experience was a nightmare, more specifically, my male gyno was a nightmare. I started with Mirena for about six days, and my “particularly well endowed partner” was getting poked, so my nightmare gyno was going to trim the thread completely off… and then WHOOPS he pulled the whole fucker out *mumble mumble profanity mumber mumble son of a bitch*. So copper IUD it was right after, what a shitty day.

Anyways, my partner could taste metal and that’s how I landed here. I just stopped bleeding two days ago, and I’ve been particularly goopy (my vagina feels like it has a runny nose) so that might be the cause. Hoping that clears up, and that my period doesn’t suck ;)

Thank you for posting this, lovely and humourous!

I just got my IUD about 2 weeks ago ( Paragard ) and DID NOT bleed much after. I did, a little bit, but just the end of my period, and then some odd brown and pink spotting for about 2 days. But, truly, nothing heavy at all. So just so you know..I don’t think everyone bleeds heavily right after ( a friend of mine did not bleed either, just weird spotting as well… )

But thank you so much for the metallic taste information ! I am so scared my boyfriend will notice, but feel a lot better after reading that !

Have you had any experience with a change in discharge?? Thicker or different in any way ?

Thank you so much again !

That was epic! I learned and laughed all the way through :P
Seriously though, thank you for such an informative post. I don’t want any hormone crap, so I’m looking at a copper IUD. This helped me make up my mind (and be prepared for horror movie-esque level of blood).

Kathy, thank you so much for sharing your comment. I miss Tim all the time, and his parents were always so good to me. My thoughts are always with you.
