"the insertion was easy. i experienced mild cramping.  i took two ibuprofen before i went in, maybe that helped. off and on that first week,  i took ibuprofen for the cramping. 

i had it inserted about 1 month ago and since then i&#039;ve had a light flow. three days ago,  i got my period. it&#039;s not heavier than in the past but it&#039;s definitely a period. i&#039;ve read that for most women the bleeding stops within 30 days. for some it takes longer. if you decide to use this birth control,  be prepared to wait it out."
