I'm thinking of getting it, I want to know everything.

How bad did insertion hurt? Did you have it inserted during your period?

How awful are your periods/ cramping/ bleeding?

How long have you had it?

Any problems or anything else I should know?

I'm currently breastfeeding my 6 week old and haven't had a period yet...with my son it didn't return until he was 1 -- would the bleeding start immediately or not until my period returned?

Hi treysmom2002, welcome!

Have read the post in the FAQs about IUDs and visited the ParaGard site http://www.paragard.com/? If not, those are good places to start for basic information.
