birth control
"History:  Switched directly from Depo-Provera after 3 years of use. Age 24.
Experience: Yes, it hurt.  The girl at planned parenthood called it "the vasovagal response" which is fancy for "feeling like you're going to pass out and throw up".  I've donated over a gallon of blood all total (pint by pint since I was 17) and am familiar with the feeling. Juice, water, rest and I was able to drive home.  I ADVISE HAVING A RIDE HOME PREPARED!  I get motion sickness and was fighting hard the whole drive.  About a day in bed with a hot pad, my body likes to sleep pain off.  Moving hurt, laying still hurt. I advise rolling back and forth so that the pressure is evenly distributed. "Menstrual-like cramps" for a week. 4 months, now GREAT, no pain or bleed."
