"i got my iud put in in march of 2015 after over a year of being on the depo shots. the initial insertion was pretty painful, but i was able to drive home and take some aspirin and lay around while the pain subsided after a few hours. i have pcos (poly cystic ovarian syndrome) and i wanted to try something that i could feel more like myself and have the least amount of side effects on. this has really been working out really great. i no longer have random pain that i used to get and the only negative that i have noticed is a lack of sex drive since getting it inserted, but i am going to the doctor soon to see if it is a side effect or if my hormones are off."
