"i&#039;m not sure what to think about this form of birth control. insertion wasn&#039;t all that bad, and i had it done a week before my period was due. it mostly hurt during the measuring but it only lasted for a second. i was able to go about my day as usual. for the first 3 months, i actually had more bleeding and more cramping. now, a year later,  i don&#039;t bleed much and i don&#039;t cramp either. sounds good, right? well, i have had issues on this too. i have experienced pain in the pelvic and abdominal region during sex with this. i take cranberry pills but i still get cloudy urine and sometimes i feel like i have to pee even though nothing more comes out. i also cannot do exercises at high intensity without bleeding out my crotch."
