birth control
"One of the best decisions I have made. After having my first child, I decided I wasn't ready to have another anytime soon. I have never been on birth control because I absolutely did not want the extra hormones. I felt 0 pain during the insertion. I was on day 2 of my period, which greatly helps because the cervix is softened. I would recommend trying to schedule the insertion sometime on your menstrual cycle. I have ALWAYS had a medium- heavy 7 day period. I did notice my bleeding has increased on day 1-3, but is normal the rest of the time. No increased cramping, or other side effects. Everyone is different but for me, this has been one of the best things I have done. 100% successful so far!"
