"every woman&#039;s experience with insertion is different. i was not expecting much pain (since i am used to severe cramping) and i read others&#039; reviews, but getting it inserted was the worst pain of my life-- i screamed in the dr&#039;s office--and it felt unbearable. like fire + shards of glass twisted inside. i was shaken up for days after. cramps and low energy for 1.5 weeks after insertion. 2 week long periods (3 days pre-liletta). cramps on and off for 2 months after insertion. despite these side effects, glad i got the liletta. morning after pills were hard on my system when i forgot my birth control pills, and getting my pills became difficult and expensive because of my insurance. liletta + insertion was free for me which makes this a win"
