OMG--I am so glad I read your comment-- I just posted about my experience with the Mirena for the full 5 years of having it in--serious mood changes, non-existent sex drive--and hope that the Paragard will be better. I just had it inserted 4 days ago and the bleeding and cramping has been mild, but I know that might change when my regular period comes back. HOWEVER, I kept noticing a different smell--not bad but really different than my normal smell and until I read your comment, I never hit me that it's the COPPER! I thought it might just be the bleeding--as blood has a lot of iron and has a metallic tinge--but this is a different smell than iron. I do not want to have a weird coppery smell for the next 10 years. I am going to have to talk to my husband about getting a vasectomy. Thanks for your comment--I think I am going to have this one removed at the IUD check in 6 weeks.
