Hi there! I just saw your forum & I'm replying back. I'm someone who has never had any kids but is using the IUD ParaGard. I'm 26 & I live in California & my doctor actually refered it to me. Told her that I was always having a hard time using BC's cuz I'd always forget. I got mine inserted Planned Parenthood. I've been using it for about almost 2 weeks now. JRHODES is right. We do warn you when they insert it because it depends if you can take a certain kind of pain. It may hurt you when they insert it. Alittle tip... Breath. Relax & try to take deep breaths. I don't know about taking a week off of work. But if you do get heavy cramps in the begining? Take a day off & take some Ibuprofin. It'll help. Other then that it's fine. Just beware of some time to time spottings. Read alot of forums too so you know what to expect.
