weight on them (over 25 lbs!) so I am
unprotected now with a fiance that hates
condoms so I need to be put on something

Okay, I have paragard iud and love love
love it! The old horror stories are from
the old dalkon shield, which was made with
defects in the first place. Todays iud's
are safer than ever and super effective!!
No hormones (paragard is the name), and it
is good for 10 years. Please talk to your
doc and give it a try!! I promise you
will love it.
