"so my insertion was august 2016. it was horrible. everybody said it was gonna feel like a pinch and be over in 5 mins. the clamps that they used to extend your cervix hurt so much.  and they were having a really hard time inserting the iud. i had to take numerous breaks i was in so much pain. i have multiple piercings nipples being one, multiple tattoos so pain isn&#039;t too much of a problem for me. after insertion that day i had terrible cramps.  i bled for 2.5 weeks. but 6 months later i love it. my periods are super light if i get it at all. no pain. i can&#039;t feel it during sex. and i&#039;m still not pregnant. i am noticing i am a little extra emotional but it doesn&#039;t bother me"
