Mina—a ParaGard^® user who wants an easily reversible long-term option
Lisa—a ParaGard^® user who wants a hassle-free option that allows for spontaneity
Dr. Bloom—an OB-GYN who explains how ParaGard^® works and, as a ParaGard^® user herself, serves as an excellent example of a patient who needs reliable birth control to last until menopause
