"insertion was a breeze. i was so nervous about it after reading about it online, especially because i was not on my period during it. i psyched myself out for no reason. i cramped that day, but took a nap and woke up totally fine. i had no side effects aside from light cramping for about 6 days. then the spotting began. i spotted/bled lightly for an entire month after that! i had the feeling that it would never end. that ended about 4 days ago(hopefully this isn&#039;t a false alarm), so now i&#039;m waiting for a period to come to know what that&#039;s like. no other bodily side effects. maybe hair loss? not enough to tell, though. no weight gain(as of yet!), no migraines. would recommend! just be wary of the adjustment period"
