birth control
"I was extremely nervous to get the IUD only because of the procedure to get it in. They open you up, then put a clamp on your cervix to hold it in place, put a metal rod through to measure your cervix and then they place the IUD in. With each interval the cramps got worse and worse. My doctor told me as long as I don't tense up or move it would be under a minute. And it was but afterwards I didn't even want to move. The pain was so unbearable by the time I got home I could barely walk, I was in and out of sleep from how bad the pain was. I was told that I would be bleeding and cramping for a few days. I am almost three weeks in and I am still bleeding. I can't drink anything cold because I'll get lower abdomen pain. I have cramps constantly"
