"i&#039;ve only had it a week, so what i can say is that the insertion was pretty painless for me personally. i&#039;m 22, have never had kids, and i was not on my period at the moment of insertion. the process itself took about 5 min, and then i was ready to go. i spotted throughout the day, but had no cramps. in fact, i was out riding my bicycle through town in the next few hours or so."
