"i am 21 years old, first time on birth control although i had looked into options before but decided i wanted to have a baby. i had a miscarriage a month ago now i don&#039;t want to have a baby so close after so i needed a b.c. method i wasn&#039;t going to forget (pills) or have to go in regularly for (depo) so this seems like a good fit. insertion was painful but it only lasted about 2/3 minutes and felt like sharp pinching/poking. i feel some cramps (not too bad) and some spotting. i read other women went when they were on their period i still hadn&#039;t had my period again but when i do it&#039;s moderate lasts about 4 days. i get more cramping then bleeding. i will update with how it affects my period or if cramps continue because this is just day 1"
