"the insertion was excruciating. the entire time i had it, i felt a dull pain localized to my cervix (i couldn&#039;t even touch my cervix because it would send a shooting pain up my uterus). it made sex impossible because my partner would feel the strings, i would get sharp shooting pains during penetration, and my natural lubrication was non-existent. i would bleed after sex and have cramps for days afterwards, with sharp localized pain. three months in, it travelled upwards and i got it removed. i&#039;ve been bleeding for two weeks now, with huge blood clots and soaking through super tampons in less than two hours. i&#039;ve been breaking out."
