paragard is the IUD that I have-I don't know why it's not listed ...

Hi Wendy,
I am wondering how the Paragard is going for you? I have the Mirena, had it since October 2007, almost 1 1/2. My periods still come once a month, very light. My problem is low libido, inability to orgasm, mood swings, ect... It isn't too extreme, but I notice a diffrence. I may have the Paragard inserted this monday, but I want to see how other women are doing on it:) Do you have any complaints or concerns you can share with me. I am a fitness queen so I am hoping it doesn't cause weight gain or anything, since it is non hormonal but again it effects every woman diffrently.
Hope to hear back from you.
Rose

Hey Rose.... I had the Paragard for about 2 yrs... no weight gain.....just heavy periods that lasted up to 7 days..... mines wasn't inserted properly which caused pain and bleeding during sex..... so thats why I had it replaced with Mirena.... big mistake for me..... I can deal with the long/ heavy periods but not all the changes my body has endured from having Mirena for only 1 week.... best regards.. Ann
