"i&#039;ve never given birth and i just got home from planned parenthood. wow-- the insertion was 100x easier than i thought after reading these reviews. seriously not that painful-- just relax! i&#039;m cramping a tiny bit and spotting but it&#039;s fine. i&#039;ll update in the weeks and montha to come, but the insertion was honestly so easy. i did swear once out of pain, which is pretty moderate for me. i took .5 mg of xanax (i have a hiatory if panic attacks) and 800 mg of ibprophen 45 minutrs before. highly reccomend"
