ParaGard is an Intrauterine Contraceptive (IUC). It is one of the most effective and reliable birth control methods. It is especially useful for those who have difficulty remembering to take a pill every day.

Paragard is an intrauterine device (IUD) that is made of plastic and copper. Your OB/GYN inserts it, and it can be used for up to 10 years and is 99.4% effective. However, if you do get pregnant with the paragard in place, it can be dangerous for the baby.

I have had Paragard for almost a year now. While the insertion is a little uncomfortable, it is worth it to not worry about birth control for 10 years!

It is not a good birth control. For women it has a higher risk of expulsion and it might result to longer periods, cramps, and it has a higher risk of having a Pelvic Inflammatory Disease.
