"i got it inserted 2/11/14. pain was terrible, felt hot and light headed like i was going to pass out after insertion. this lasted about 30 minutes then steady cramping for 24-48 hours after. i had spotting the first few months then it finally dwindled down to no spotting or periods at all. 

other than the pain i&#039;m happy with it. i&#039;m having it removed next week and a new one reinserted after. i was told removal isn&#039;t as bad as insertion so i just plan on taking a day off or two after reinsertion."
