birth control
"Was scared using the pill as 1/10 people get pregnant from it and was not keen on all the common side effects so I decided to get the copper IUD. At first I put off getting it after being scared to death after reading all the reviews. The insertion did hurt but the pain only felt like a period pain for about 20 seconds. After that it was gone. I experienced bleeding and spotting for the first 2-3 weeks which was annoying but has completely disappeared. I then got my period which was more painful but only on the first day. It was the same flow  after the first day with no pain. I can't feel the IUD during sex and have no other side effects but the increased period pain on the first day( which goes away with ibrufen)."
