"i am so happy i went through with getting kyleena even after reading all of the &quot;horror stories&quot; of the insertion process. boy did those reviews get me worked up!  literally, my doctor asked me what classes i was taking and boom it was done. i didn&#039;t even know she inserted it! all i felt was pressure, not pain. however, before the iud, i was the girl who never experienced cramping at all. the only down fall i have experienced after having an iud for 6+ months is the cramping. it&#039;s very intense and painful, nothing i ever had gone through before. i always know when my period is coming because i have a day of serious cramping before it starts. i still have a period for now, but i don&#039;t regret it one bit. better than taking a pill every day!"
