"i love it! the insertion was the most painful experience i have ever had, but it only lasts a few seconds. my first couple periods after we&#039;re very painful, and definitely worse than before the iud. period was heavier too but mine were always very light so it wasn&#039;t a big deal. i also would had sudden cramping that would cause me to bend over in pain. but honestly, it wasn&#039;t that bad because it only lasted a second or two. painkillers during period days did the trick and the cramping eased off. now about 6 months later my period is completely normal and only have normal mild cramps during the first day.  i absolutely love not having a hormone contraceptive. moods are totally normal and i love love love it."
