"i got my first iud put in december of 2016. my gyn told me to take some tylenol before hand which really helped i think. i have never given birth. the insertion felt like an ice pick kind of behind my belly button but that only lasted for about 2 seconds. the whole process was over in about 5 minutes and i just had some minor cramping for the rest of the night. i had been on depo provera for 3 years and then off bc entirely for a year and during the entire 4 year span i did not have a period.
since getting it inserted, i have had no side affects. i lost about 15 lbs, my mood has improved and i still have not had a period. today, 8/1/17, i did start bleeding though which is strange but i&#039;m sure that it is fine. i love my iud though."
