birth control
"I had the copper IUD inserted when I just turned 18 because I didn't want any babies at such young age. My mom supported me in my decision and I really do not regret getting this type of birth control. When they inserted the IUD I almost fainted but the pain was not that bad. Since I was 18 after the insertion I experience ugly cramps but with midol they went away. When the first period with the IUD arrived, I wasn't able to move the two first day due to the horrible cramps. However after that everything when back to normal. I just turned 19 and it has been a year with my IUD and I just love it. I feel protected in the sense that I have a great chance to prevent an unwanted pregnancy."
