"I had the paragard for about four months. The implantation procedure went well and painless (I have four kids) and the first month went by without incident. By the second month I started having unexplained nausea and dizziness, but thought nothing of it. Figured it was dehydration or poor eating habits. By the end of the second month I started getting heavy periods every two weeks and the nausea/dizziness became more frequent. I could barely get out of bed in the morning no matter how many hours of sleep I got. By the time I got it removed last week, I couldn't function. Nausea, dizziness, fatigue, horrible labor-like cramps in my uterus and back. I was miserable. Feeling 100% better since removal."
