"i am a recovering heroin addict, sober now for 4 months, and had i been prepared or well informed on this whole situation i may have waited. anyways, i am 23, never had kids, 1 abortion...and a failed pregnancy. 
anyways. this was all my mom&#039;s idea, never really used bc pills because hormones made me nuts, the pain of the insertion was unbearable for me, and the ride home i felt i was going to vomit.
the pain is uncomfortable, i have not experienced menstrual cramps since maybe 5th grade. not only that, my periods were always ridiculously irregular and for a good year i never even had a period. i am sweaty, cramping, and dizzy. i am hoping this will all be over soon, ibuprofen and tylenol i don&#039;t believe ever works. just got today."
