"had mine put in about 6 weeks ago and love it so far.  i&#039;m 23 with no children but did a lot of research first.  the insertion was painful, even with media to help.  i did try to drive myself home but nearly fainted while driving...so you might want to bring a friend.  overall though it was not that bad.  i spotted non stop for 5 weeks and now have gone 1 full week with no spotting.   other than the initial placement i have had zero pain."
