This is insane. I have had the paragard for 3 months now and I am late on my period and I look pregnant. I don't have any pain but when I go to work everyone is asking me if I'm pregnant. My doc told me it can't be the iud and it has to either be pms bloating or a gastro intestinal thing. I'm calling BS . But the patches gave me a head ache because of the hormones . I'm thinking of getting it taken out but don't want to get pregnant. Should I go back to the patch ?
