"i got this birth control put in around early october and today is march 11th. i&#039;ve scheduled to take it out on thursday. i read a million horror stories on iuds but figured every woman&#039;s body is different so i&#039;d try it. the insertion was extremely painful  but a really short process. the pain lasted about 40 seconds. cramps lasted that day but then went away pretty quickly. about 4 months in i started getting uti&#039;s every single time i had sex. before i got this iud i was having sex everyday with my bf sometimes 2 or 3 times a day and never had any issues with uti&#039;s. i know how to clean myself and how to prevent them so clearly it was my iud causing them. also i&#039;ve now had my period for 3 weeks and cramp and back pain. can&#039;t wait to remove it"
