"had iud for about a month now and never had children. i have a sensitivity to estrogen so opted for this. i love it. insertion hurt.  the actual iud didn&#039;t hurt at all. as soon as they released the clamp on my uterus, the pain went away immediately. i spot occasionally and have random cramps that last about ten minutes but overall it isn&#039;t that bad. ob says spotting will subside (it isn&#039;t that bad really just a speck on my panties, so i wear a liner.). boyfriend doesn&#039;t feel the strings at all like some claim. i would highly recommend."
