"this thing is giving me so many problems it&#039;s ridiculous. i&#039;ve had to drive all the way to the gyno several times because of my side effects. coincidently, i have yet another appointment today. my body does not like this thing. when it was first placed inside, i experienced the worst pain i have ever felt in my life (no joke). if you want a pain rating, i&#039;d give it a 10/10. i still felt cramping a while after and the pain was so bad that they put me in a different room in order to sleep off the pain. keep in mind i took pain relievers before the process as suggested. when i finally gathered enough strength to drive myself home, i continued to feel pain (8/10) for the next 3-4 days. period lasted about 10-13 days. *wish i could write more"
