D.R.
I do not know what a Paragard IUD is but I have had the Mirena IUD for 6 years now (since my second child was born). We had to switch it last year cause it only lasts 5 years. I LOVE it. I have had no side effects. I have never taken the pill and am not big on drugs or hormones in my body. I have not noticed anything from this but the freedom we have. On the second one my husband did feel like he maybe felt it. The dr. snipped it shorter. OH, on the second one, my body I guess rejected it and it started to push down. When my husband was feeling the string, I went to the dr. and he saw that it was falling out, so we changed it and snipped the string.
My dr. is Dr. Scott Serden at Cedar Sinai
