"i love it. the insertion was not nearly as horrible as i had expected. of course, it was uncomfortable, but totally bearable and quick. afterwards, i cramped and bled (lightly) for the rest of the day. i recommend spending the day in bed with a heating pad like i did. for about a week after insertion, i experienced light to moderate cramping but now (a few months later), i experience no cramping and no period. i also haven&#039;t had any issue with the iud strings. my partner hasn&#039;t &quot;felt&quot; them at all, which was another concern. 

overall, it&#039;s great. no more worrying about taking a pill every day and remembering to take my birth control with me on trips, out camping, etc. i haven&#039;t had a period at all, and it&#039;s long term. i love it"
