birth control
"I love it. The insertion was not nearly as horrible as I had expected. Of course, it was uncomfortable, but totally bearable and quick. Afterwards, I cramped and bled (lightly) for the rest of the day. I recommend spending the day in bed with a heating pad like I did. For about a week after insertion, I experienced light to moderate cramping but now (a few months later), I experience no cramping and no period. I also haven't had any issue with the IUD strings. My partner hasn't "felt" them at all, which was another concern. 

Overall, it's great. No more worrying about taking a pill every day and remembering to take my birth control with me on trips, out camping, etc. I haven't had a period at all, and it's long term. I love it"
