"one of the best decisions i have made. after having my first child, i decided i wasn&#039;t ready to have another anytime soon. i have never been on birth control because i absolutely did not want the extra hormones. i felt 0 pain during the insertion. i was on day 2 of my period, which greatly helps because the cervix is softened. i would recommend trying to schedule the insertion sometime on your menstrual cycle. i have always had a medium- heavy 7 day period. i did notice my bleeding has increased on day 1-3, but is normal the rest of the time. no increased cramping, or other side effects. everyone is different but for me, this has been one of the best things i have done. 100% successful so far!"
