I just had paragard inserted yesterday. It went as well as expected...i was definitely freaked out but it was just bad cramps, just as my dr told me. Well, I feel a little sore (which is expected) but I'm just wondering, how long until you felt back to "normal". Quite honestly, i don't feel like having sex.....I have the pamphlet and all but I want to know personal experiences with it. Thanks!

Hi, I have a Mirena and dh and I tried it out the night I got it. I have heard some people take a few days, and some may take a week. i had a baby before I got mine so I think that helped.


I hope you like it and that you are feeling well soon!

I had mine inserted at my first post partum check up. I waited a week before sex but my OB gave me the okay to do it right away if we wanted too.

I felt a little swollen down there for a day or two and then had fairly heavy spotting right away. After that it tapered off to be an on and off thing.

Yes I had it inserted in Feb and LOVE LOVE LOVE it. I have the Mirena (hormonal good for 5 years).

I had spotting off and on for about 6 weeks. Sometimes it was there and sometimes there was nothing. It didn't interfere with my sex life much at all. Since then I've had short and light periods (one of the Mirena benefits).

If ya have any more questions ask away! No TMI here (lol)

Hey,


I had paragard inserted in April (never had children) and I didn't have sex until almost 1 month after it was inserted.
