"one month post-insertion:
cramps are not bad. they come and go and they&rsquo;re not an everyday thing. 
i did not really bleed in the beginning. but sex is a little uncomfortable now. mostly because of the pain that i felt from the iud is giving me ptsd, but it doesn&rsquo;t feel as comfortable anymore. the strings did scare him when he felt them the first time, but he fine afterwards. i did not have a numbing shot, prior to insertion, also. it&rsquo;s around the time to start my period and i&rsquo;m bleeding heavily now. but it also comes and goes. having an iud at the age of 20 is such a weird thing."
