"i find most of these reviews funny. most of the reviews are from young girls who don&#039;t have any children yet. so when they write &quot;extremely painful&quot;, &quot;worst pain&quot;, &quot;excruciating pain when they put it in&quot; i literally want to laugh. it is nothing compared to childbirth. i honestly didn&#039;t even flinch when they put it in. i had my daughter in september and got it inserted a week ago yesterday (january 4th). yes, there was some cramping and a little bleeding, but nothing an ibuprofen and little panty liner couldn&#039;t handle. my husband and i don&#039;t want to have another baby until our daughter is a year old, and after discussing with my ob this was the best choice for us. i recommend this to anyone everyday over having to take the pill every night."
