"i&#039;ve had it for 6 days. i don&#039;t have kids, am young compared to most users, and have a tilted uterus. i chose not to use the numbing shot, because my doctor said the needle would hurt just as bad as the insertion. i took 400mg of ibuprofen, 1 hour before the insertion. it hurt but only for about 20 seconds. i had a kind of reverse contractions for 2 hours. i was directed to take 800mg of ibuprofen. i suggest going #2 before the insertion, since it&#039;s very painful to do so after. since insertion i&#039;ve had minor spotting, and very little pain. do not use a tampon, it&#039;s so painful to remove. (i use a diva cup when i go out) don&#039;t be scared off by all of the horrible reviews, most people only write a review when something goes wrong."
