birth control
"I got my IUD inserted 3 weeks ago. The procedure was crampy, though I did take 600mg of ibuprofen beforehand so it was bearable as long as I remembered to breathe through it. It took about 10 minutes. There were some risidual cramps, first light then really bad on the drive home. Since then I have been spotting/lightly bleeding. For several days last week it was heavier so I assume it was my period? Previously I was on Ortho Tri-Cyclen pills and they told me to finish up the pack I was on so I did and that's when the heavier bleeding started. Now I am back to lighter bleeding/spotting but I hope it stops soon. Normally my periods are 3 days max so I'm not used to this and frankly tired of it!"
