"ladies, let me just first say that the mind is a very powerful thing, and just like you i read all these reviews and was terrified.  i told my doctor i was nervous of how awful it was going to feel and he assured me that it was all in my head.  he was right, it was nothing like the reviews i have read. i counted how long it took, it was less than 2 minutes.  and i counted how long the severe cramping lasted during, and that was less than 20 seconds.  yes the cramps felt like a very powerful menstrual cramp and it was not comfortable, but it was so so so short.  i left the office feeling completely fine, just feeling like i had menstrual cramps.  very little spotting the next few days.  don&#039;t let the reviews scare you!"
