Never been pregnant; want Paragard copper IUD.

I'm 28 years old and never been pregnant. I am currently on combined oral contraceptives, but I want to switch to a non-hormonal method, particularly Paragard.

I have read about perforation and expulsion which is quite scary. The Paragard site says perforation is most likely to occur if one has never been pregnant.

Any non-pregnant women out there with the IUD? What is your experience?

    I have the Mirena IUD and I haven't had children. I have had mine for 2 years now. so far everything has been good. I was very scared to get an IUD after reading a bunch of stuff online. I haven't had a period, I'm less moody, I don't have to remember to take a pill, etc. I will say that getting it put in wasn't fun and was painful for me but within a day I felt better. Good Luck.

    I've had mine for 10 years... not one problem, side effect, etc. When it was inserted, it was no worse than a routine pap smear. Will have it removed & replaced!

    Wish you the best of luck!
