birth control
"My doctor gave me an 800 mg Ibuprofen about an hour before insertion.  While they attempted to insert the Mirena (which I had originally planned on getting) I experienced horrible pain for nearly 10 minutes.  I'm 20 and have never had children and it was one of the most painful experiences of my entire life.  I usually have very painful period cramps and this still felt much worse.  Finally, they asked if I'd rather have the Skyla, which is smaller and might accommodate my tiny cervix better.  In comparison, the Skyla insertion was much quicker and less painful.  After the procedure I did throw up once due to the intense pain, but after a few days I experienced little to no side effects.  I do recommend taking the day off of work though."
