birth control
"Ok first I will start with the cons. The insertion hurt. A lot. I would say it was a 7-8 on the pain scale. But it was way faster than I expected it to be. Afterwards, I felt like I had bad period cramps. I took ibuprofen and applied a heating pad, and within a few hours the pain had subsided.



Now for the good parts. My period was somewhat irregular but light for the first few months. By the third month, my period stopped, and it hasn't returned since. It's SO amazing not having to have a period, and not having to worry about taking a pill, needle, etc., It has literally been worry-free. I definitely recommend trying the Mirena if you don't want kids for several years!"
