birth control
"I had no pain during the insertion, just pressure. My obgyn numbed me, and I was not on my period due to pcos. I'm 24 and this is my first attempt at hormonal BC. About an hour after the insertion I had pain which I relieved with a double dose of midol and a heating pad. I felt completely normal for two weeks. Then I experienced slight cramps (not extremely painful, just an uncomfortable on and off ache) and daily spotting. Other things I've noticed that there are days were I feel more anxious than the situation calls for and indigestion problems like heartburn or diarrhea. The experience hasn't been as bad as I thought it would in the 6 weeks since I got it, and I already feel my symptoms winding down in severity."
