I'm not sure if this is the right place, but anyone have any info on paraguard? Pluses/minuses? Other suggestions for semi-permanent hormone free birth control?
TIA!

This book feels good in your hands. The paper is heavyweight, and the illustrations flow perfectly.

I don't have any info other then my personal experience. I have one, and have since Dec 2008. I like that its easy, with nothing to remember or to do besides check the strings. I don't like that I have cramps my entire cycle that vary in severity from mildly uncomfortable to one time sending me to PatientFirst (I gave birth on pit w/o pain meds). Generally it's fine, I don't experience the heavy bleeding I read about on line. I decided to give it a year before ruling it out because for my family it's about our last shot save abstinence for many reasons, which sounds like no fun to me.

Had one in for 5 years before TTC and had no issues except a slightly heavier period. Worth it for my libido and to not have to think about BC at all! Got it out, was pregnant three months later. A doctor friend of mine got hers out and was pregnant that month!
You should just check the strings once in a while, usually after your period, to make sure it didn't get moved or expulsed during your menstrual cycle.
