birth control
"I needed a reliable birth control that I wouldn't have to remember to take or insert. The insertion was painful: it felt like three cramps with the actual insertion being the worst and longest. Overall it was very quick and as soon as he took the tools out of my uterus the pain was over. I have a high pain tolerance and it knocked the wind out of me and made my toes curl. No pain for the rest of the day though, only light spotting & no cramping for the first week. Now, 2 wks in, I'm having mild to severe cramps (I suspect ovulation?). Overall I love my IUD though. Its very freeing and my boyfriend and I can go without condoms, which we both hate."
