Pregnancy Prevention Experience

This features an essay that I wrote of my personal ParaGard experience to my teacher as a Health 2 assignment in tenth grade, published here on Wattpad so that I can share it with you, lovely reader, and hopefully spark a conversation on contraception. Other than the author's note, a few modifications to protect the anonymity of anyone previously mentioned when I believe that should be kept private on a public platform unless I have their permission to share their personal information, and mending minor mistakes such as typos and grammatical errors, the part entitled "Copper IUD Insertion" is exactly what I submitted.

Originally, this was no more than a Wattpad publication entitled "Copper IUD Experience" with its only part named "The Fault in Our Stars" (read it and you will understand the relevance), but I figured that I'd continue to expand upon this throughout life, adding voluntary essays instead of merely one school assignment here and never updating it. Now, this is Pregnancy Prevention Experience (accompanying Pregnancy Prevention Education, which also inspired the change so that the titles would match) and that original part is now the Copper IUD Insertion chapter, awaiting the next part, Copper IUD Removal, which will be added shortly after that day comes if not immediately afterwards (though it'll be a long wait because the day won't be here until 2029 - copper IUDs last for a long time!). Our following birth control methods and personal experience with them will be added here upon their arrival in our lives - this is, in other words, an ongoing publication, but each piece is published after being as maximally polished as is possible and practicable.
