"i have never had kids and don&#039;t want to for a while.  

i got the insertion a month ago.  it wasn&#039;t pleasant, but it really wasn&#039;t as bad as what i had read.  a few waves of cramping and it was over - i felt totally fine and went out that evening and everything!  
for the first few weeks i had discharge from brown to red that seemed to be a tissue-like consistency.  this last week i suddenly started getting very bad cramping.  i went into my doctors to get it checked out and everything looks fine!  apparently that happens.  i&#039;m a bit more irritable than normal, but otherwise everything else is as it always is.  i suggest taking pain medicine before your appointment, getting panty liners, and underwear you don&#039;t mind throwing out :)"
