"leaving a positive review because this site almost scared me into not getting it at all!  this product is awesome! insertion was painful but mostly was a really strong cramp. over in 5 minutes, and i went straight back to work afterwards. i was crampy for a few days but nothing ibuprofen couldn&#039;t fix.  less than a week out, and cramping is gone!  



i feel great!  no pills everyday on a strict time schedule. no side effects from the hormones (for me mainly nausea, bloating, extreme tiredness, and other ahem...issues).  my energy is back, and i feel like myself again! if anything changes for the worse i&#039;ll update, but since side effects are usually worse in the beginning, i am hopeful! i follow up in a few weeks with dr. to check placement."
