birth control
"I've had the copper coil for about 3 months now. I was really excited at the thought of not taking hormones. I'm good with pain however I nearly fainted with insertion, couldn't belive how painful it was; the doctor did say it is very painful for some. Well 3 months in, my periods last 11 days and I'm in pain for about 15 days with random twangs especially in the left side and I'm considering whether I want to put up with the intense pain and heavy periods. I'd recommend this 100% to somebody who doesn't already have heavy painful periods but right now it just isn't for me"
