"i have tried every birth control- pills, shot, arm implant. this is hands down the best. getting it inserted was painful (4/10) but this pain lasted less than 30 seconds. i was uncomfortable after, but could drive and go shopping. after an hour, i felt normal. since then, i have had zero problems- no cramps, no spotting, no acne! i got my period on time, it was light and lasted a week. i am so happy i did this. i was worried because of reviews, but i love it. i am happy to be protected for 5 years. if you&#039;re interested, try it. take 800mg of ibuprofen an hour prior!"
