birth control
"Writing this 5 hrs post-insertion on day 8 of cycle. I honestly scared myself silly from reading all the negative reviews about pain during insertion. Took ibuprofen 800mg an hour before insertion. It was just like getting a pap. The most painful part for me was pinching the cervix to straighten the uterus. It was like a period cramp but the whole insertion procedure lasted around 3 mins. Just a little uncomfortable but pain is tolerable. Period cramps are worse. For the price and efficacy and just the slight pain during insertion, I think it’s worth getting especially as I don’t have to worry about unwanted pregnancies for up to 5 years.

No dizziness nor cramping afterwards. No pain too. Just a small drop of blood on the liner."
