birth control
"I was not on my period, had no medication to open my cervix, and had no numbing spray. The insertion was painful for about 30 seconds. I was sweating, had abdominal cramps that felt like I was going to have diarrhea, and some menstrual cramps. I had bad cramps for about 2 hours after insertion. I had no bleeding after insertion & didn't have a period until 8 weeks later. I recommend having someone drive you home & taking a heating pad with you. Take Motrin like an hour before you go. I would 100% do it again & hope that the rest of my time with it works out. So far I feel like my sex drive has increased which had always been a problem on other birth control. My husband cannot feel it my doc says the strings are wrapped around my cervix."
