"i am 17 with no children. i started birth control pills at 13 for heavy periods &amp; pms and decided to switch to a larc since i wont want kids any time soon. my insurance covered 100% of the cost. i had it inserted on day 4 of my period. ladies do not be scared about the insertion! the pain lasted for under a minute and the rest of the day just felt like normal period cramps. i drove myself home and took 800mg of ibuprofen. since the insertion, i have had random cramps occasionally and random bits of brown blood spotting around the time for my period but it is nothing major! i haven&#039;t had any breakouts or weight gain and i would recommend this to anyone :-)"
