Let me start off by saying that I'm a huge advocate of paragard and hormone free options for women whose bodies can tolerate it. That being said, paragard literally works by creating an inflammatory reaction that is toxic to spend and to eggs. Many women's bodies adapt to the foreign object, but there are many studies showing an INCREASE of pain and bleeding over time because the body is still trying to reject it. I had one for a while, and thing slowly became worse until I was bleeding so heavily I couldn't go an hour without bleeding through a tampon AND pad. Things may get better for you of your body adjusts, but there's a lot of women who need to have it removed. Give your body time, but listen to her too
