"i can&#039;t speak on how well this birth control is long term because i literally just got it placed yesterday. but i wanted to write a review on the placement because i read some of these beforehand and the horror stories almost scared me out of it. it was not terrible at all and i do not take pain well. of course, everyone has their own pain threshold and different bodies. it also really depends on when in your cycle you get it done. i got it done about 5 days after ending my period. my doctor said my cervix was in perfect condition for the procedure as it was slightly open and &quot;paper thin&quot;. it did hurt but the pain lasted for 5 seconds and was not sharp but like a really strong cramp. and now i&#039;m 3 years baby free! well worth it."
