birth control
"I have had Kyleena for about a month and the insertion was nothing like I imagined.  As someone who is afraid of pain, and the horror stories I read, this was really not that bad.  I would rate my pain as a 6/10.  There were two, short-lived, intense cramps; one for the sounding and one for the actual placement of the IUD.  I could not feel the tenaculum on my cervix (no anesthetic).  I had to actually ask her if we were even at that part yet. I went to work right after I had it placed.  The spotting lasted for about 2 weeks.  It was minimal, but nonetheless annoying.  I think my body is still adjusting to it but I am going to give it that 6-month window my doctor recommended."
