"i got the liletta inserted about a month ago. i would describe the pain i felt from it similar to the intensity of passing a stone from my gallbladder. however the pain lasted less than 2-3 minutes and insertion was about 5 minutes. i have never given birth. i have had spotting and cramps on and off 3 weeks after insertion. now i&#039;m on my period and i will admit it is heavy but less crampy. i do find this iud very effective. i also like this much more than taking a birth control pill. the pills made my blood pressure increase and cause absolutely horrible bloating. i&#039;ll take spotting and slight cramping throughout the month than what i was going through with pill anyday."
