So, the first time I read this thread, I didn't even think twice about the birth control section, because I'd had the Paragard for 5.5 years. But a few days ago, I discovered a cause behind some not very fun health problems (insignificant in terms of enlisting, but a nuisance nonetheless), and without going into too much detail, I removed the Paragard myself. Turns out the device was rusted, and now I am waiting for my body to recover.
My question... do you HAVE to be on birth control? My body reacts horribly to hormones, and obviously I refuse to insert/implant anything in my body. Shouldn't you NOT be having sex in bootcamp anyway?! :/ Maybe someone can explain more?!
