"i&#039;ve had mine for about 3 weeks now. i&#039;m terrified of my first period since i&#039;ve heard so many horror stories. when i got it put in it hurt really bad felt like  labor but i had it placed at pp where they don&#039;t numb the cervix or anything. afterward i cramped like contractions the rest of the day, but ibuprophen helped a lot. i bled lightly for about 3-4 days and a week in i had sex which made me bleed very lightly on the toilet paper only for that night. other then that i&#039;ve forgotten i have it and i love it so far. i&#039;ve had every other bc except the shot. the implant &amp; mirena made me bleed for months on end so i was happy i stopped the bleeding a few days after getting this in. i&#039;m still scared of my first period, but hopefully its not bad!"
