"i got my copper t about 7 months ago and i love it. i am 22- haven&#039;t had kids- so the insertion was pretty horrible. really, really painful. i had horrific cramping and bleeding that whole day, an unreal amount of bleeding that night (seriously), but then the next day just a tiny bit of cramping and bleeding. my periods are slightly heavier than they were before, my cramping is normal, and my period lasts about 5 days. the only real difference in my periods is that they are much more spread out- i&#039;ve been getting them every 5 to 7 weeks (this may have to do with me and my past history of birth control though). the insertion was bad but so worth it. i don&#039;t even know it&#039;s there. i recommend!"
