Your experiences with ParaGard or other IUD's and sex work
I'm interested in starting birth control. I'm a dancer and a cam girl, and I have a boyfriend who I like to make the sex with a lot. I decided it's time for BC, I've never used BC before and I'm not interested in no longer having a period or changing the chemistry of my body. I'm 21, so tubal ligation isn't really an option at this point in time.
I'm wondering about your experiences with non-hormonal BC and if it effected your work at all?

Run some searches on here, girlie. I've seen and contributed to a number of threads on IUDs, Paragard, Mirena, etc. Use advanced searching to find what you need.

Re: Your experiences with ParaGard or other IUD's and sex work
I would say my personal experience with having an IUD and working as a dancer was not a good one. Not a very good idea for me since I do a lot of pole work + Mirena = lots of stabby, crampy internal pain. I have friends who have the arm implant and other brands of IUDs and have had them work well, so I think it's to each her own.
Re: Your experiences with ParaGard or other IUD's and sex work
I had the ParaGard for a while. I hated it. I wrote a lot about it in another thread if you do any searches for IUDs. Hormone free birth control is of course great in theory , but it gives a lot of people really terrible side effects.
Re: Your experiences with ParaGard or other IUD's and sex work
I've had Mirena for almost 4 years now and I love it. My partners over the years haven't really complained, if they have it's because of certain positions or them being bigger than average. They say it feels like something fine tickling/scratching them.I rarely get periods, and when I do, I usually spot for a couple days.I don't know how it would translate to sex work, but I've slept with a lot of men in those 4 years and it's been a lot easier for me than when I used to take pills. I also ended up going the IUD route because I had gotten pregnant from misuse of my BC pills.
Re: Your experiences with ParaGard or other IUD's and sex work
I got paraguard about 3 years ago & I love it. I had bad cramps & bleeding for maybe a day or so after insertion, and I do get worse cramps on my periods now, which tend to be shorter and heavier. But to me, 10 years worth of highly effective birth control I don't have to worry about! Yes please! I had good health insurance at the time so I only had to pay the copay. No partners have ever commented it on it. Once I forgot I had the diva cup in lol, and I got the placement checked after that and the thing had stayed in place!
Re: Your experiences with ParaGard or other IUD's and sex work
I've had my Paragard for over a year and I fucking love it. I was told it could cause heavier periods or worse cramping and the reverse has actually been true. For the most part my period only lasts 3-5 days now.
10/10 would recommend

ParaGard was a nightmare for me. I'm glad it works out for some people!!
Re: Your experiences with ParaGard or other IUD's and sex work
I have ParaGard, it is great for me.
Re: Your experiences with ParaGard or other IUD's and sex work
I would recommend paragard (copper IUD, no hormones). Just got it a few months ago. First period after insertion was terrible with heavy bleeding and insane cramping. But since then my periods are back to normal, almost even seem shorter than before. No one can feel the string, honestly I can't even feel it so I bought a speculum to check the placement visually instead.
Re: Your experiences with ParaGard or other IUD's and sex work
^ exactly my experience minus speculum.

I second everything said here with the paraguard. I've had mine in since May of this year and love it.
