"i&#039;ve had m ine on for going on two months now and i love it. i was under the impression this little price of wonderful would be the worst decision of my life and to be honest, its not. of course insertion hurt like a female dog, but that&#039;s to be expected. (i&#039;m 18, never gave been pregnant by the way.) that first day- and that first few- stunk. but i found walking seemed to help. my next period was pretty heavy but lasted only 4 days and it was far better than my periods prior; which only happened maybe 4 times a year and when they did i thought i was dying. i lightly speed and gained like 6 pounds but in that aspect, mine is great. i cramp lightly now and that&#039;s a miracle in and of itself. my partner hardly notices the stings too. ;]"
