"i have had liletta for almost 3 months now and i&#039;m loving it.  i was nervous to get it put in because i have a low pain tolerance and it did hurt a lot for about a minute when they were positioning it.  the planned parenthood nurses were very nice and let me lay down for about 15 minutes after the procedure and then i took the bus home.  for about an hour after i had horrible cramps, but then i had period-like cramps for the rest of the day.  since i had a week left on my pill pack, they told me to finish it because liletta isn&#039;t 100% effective until 5 days later.  after i finished the birth control pills, i had my period for 8 days, which is about twice as long as it usually is.  but my next period was only 3 days and very light"
