Hello dear
Understand your concern.
Paragard is a copper containing IUD.

It make cervical mucus and make conception unfavorable.

Following are the side effect:
1. Irregular menstruation: heavy bleeding may be occur due to hormonal imbalaance.
2. Cramp pain
3. Dizziness and headache
4. Infection: most common gonorrhoea and chlymadia which lead to Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID).

Menstruation come to normal after 4-6 months.
If problems continue, check your hormone profile and consult doctor.

Hope this may help you.
