Comparing Mononessa vs ParaGard

For Birth Control I took this pill for about 2 and a half years. It worked great, only had a few pregnancy scares from forgetting to take the pills on time. I usually always remembered but was sometimes a hassle to remember every day. I had good and bad side effects. It got rid of all of my acne and made my periods regular. I did gain about 25 pounds and had a much lower sex drive though. I did spot occasionally but not too often. If I decided to take the pill through my period rather than stopping, sex would start to hurt deep in my uterus eventually. That happened many times. I decided to get off that birth control a few months ago and I could tell that I had a complete change in my body. I lost weight and felt happier. My sex drive went up incredibly.

For Birth Control I have been on this pill for 3 months now and I LOVE IT! At first my moods were wacky and my boobs hurt really bad but I'm finally adjusted and it's amazing. No accidental pregnancy. And LIGHTER PERIODS!! This pill is a winner in my book.

For Birth Control I just received the Paragard today and wanted to share about the procedure. I'm 30, with 5 kids (just had twins 3 months ago today)I said 'over my dead body I'm getting pregnant again, knowing I'm prone to having twins!'. I told my doc I wanted something as close to being sterile as possible without going under. So, I chose the Paragard. Hormone free and stays for 10yrs, or until you want it removed. The process wasn't painful. But you have to remember, the more kids you have, it's not painful. And, if you just gave birth, it's not as painful either. Of course if you're uterus hasn't been through any changes, it will feel like a big cramp and discomfort. I've spotted so far. I will keep posting on changes every month!

For Birth Control I'm 34 years old with 2 kids. I had the Paragard IUD inserted 3 & 1/2 yrs ago shortly after the birth of my 2nd child. The procedure was quick. I experienced a little discomfort but nothing unbearable. Fast forward to 2016, I requested my GYN remove the Paragard IUD today. It took all of 30 seconds to remove but did leave me spotting. My reasons to remove included the following: 1) shortly before my period I would spot for approximately 3-4 days and then proceed to bleed for a minimum of 9 days 2) constant vaginal discharge which resulted in me having to wear a panty liner daily and 3) since it's insertion, my cravings for sugar have tremendously increased. After 3 years, I finally just had enough of dealing with these side effects.
