"i got lilletta in march (8 months ago) for just $30 at my local health dept. the insertion was very painful and i did have cramping for a few days afterward. my periods were pretty normal the first few months, and now i haven&#039;t even had a period for the past two months (which is great!) besides the insertion pain, i am really liking lilletta. it does its job. i have never had children, so i&#039;m guessing that may be why the insertion pain was so bad. i will probably get it out before the 3 years are over, because i am newly married and wanting to get pregnant sometime next year."
