"was very nervous for the insertion but it was all a breeze. it didn&#039;t hurt so much as just some cramping for like 2ish minutes and then a little achy for the hours after insertion. i did take 600mg of ibuprofen which was probably useful. i spotted for a couple hours after insertion but not to bad. will see how i  handle the side effects (if i get any). but so far so good! love the idea of not having to worry for 3+ (if liletta gets fda approval) years"
