"i&#039;m 26 years old, healthy, 128 lbs, never been pregnant, but i was an egg donor 4x.  i have been off of birth control for about 4 years. my insertion was not a great experience. i forgot to take ibuprofen, and all i had was 2 tylenol in my car. i also didn&#039;t eat breakfast. felt the needle and some pressure, followed by a few cramps. it wasn&#039;t unbearable, just uncomfortable for 5 minutes. i got very dizzy and hot and bled a lot after. i wish i had taken the day off because i was bloated and just uncomfortable all day. also had to wear a pad. the first week was just annoying with the spotting and cramping. i&#039;m 2 weeks in, and still spotting with random cramping. sex life is so much better without worrying about birth control/pregnancy!"
