Just FYI, we got the Paraguard after baby #2, and it's been great!! We may still have more children, since I'm only 24, but wanted to space them out more, and I didn't want hormonal side effects (tried pills, shot, etc, YUCK!). If anyone wants to ask questions of someone who has had (and still has!) one, I'm willing to answer, though I may be biased cuz I've loved it!
