birth control
"I love my copper IUD so much. I'm 19 years old and I got it around my 19th birthday my period has come fairly consistently, every 25-30 days (with regular unprotected sex with my boyfriend). The worst part about it is the cramps. I had mild to non-existent cramps prior to getting the IUD, but the cramps that came along with my first period not only started earlier but were really painful. But each period after that has gotten better. Another thing is my period is heavier and a bit longer (from 4 to 6 day, and still is, but that's diminishing as the months go along too. the initial difficulties are worth the no-hassle, low cost birth control. Insertion was a breeze, some unconfortability and mild pain. I took ibuprofen before and after."
