"writing this 5 hrs post-insertion on day 8 of cycle. i honestly scared myself silly from reading all the negative reviews about pain during insertion. took ibuprofen 800mg an hour before insertion. it was just like getting a pap. the most painful part for me was pinching the cervix to straighten the uterus. it was like a period cramp but the whole insertion procedure lasted around 3 mins. just a little uncomfortable but pain is tolerable. period cramps are worse. for the price and efficacy and just the slight pain during insertion, i think it&rsquo;s worth getting especially as i don&rsquo;t have to worry about unwanted pregnancies for up to 5 years.

no dizziness nor cramping afterwards. no pain too. just a small drop of blood on the liner."
