The paragard didn't change my flow at all. I still had regular cycles

It's only good for 5 years. After 5 years you have to get it removed and put in a new one.

I've had Mirena for over a year and I've had no problems. No side effects. I love it. The non hormonal one causes heavy periods and heavy cramps. Mirena took care of my heavy bleeding problems. This is my second one and when it expires I'm getting another one.
