birth control
"I got mine 6 wks ago. The insertion was uncomfortable but I was ready for that. It was slightly more painful than a biopsy at the gyno. I don't usually cramp on my period but I experienced cramping after the procedure. It was mild & I was able to go back to work. I know when my coworker got hers she was not able to. I think it's a matter of Anatomy. I experienced some bleeding afterwards. Then had some spotting for a month. My Dr. & friends who have IUD's all said it was normal at first. I think the worst part was when I got my 1st period with it. I kid you not...I though I was giving birth. The waves lasted 2hrs & then I was normal. For the most part the experience was positive except that part. Was told that it can happen the 1st cycle"
