birth control
"I'm 21 and have never had child, and had my insertion a week ago. Reading all of these reviews made me expect terrible pain. My gyno prescribed me 600 mg  of Cytotec to take 4 hours before my appointment to soften the cervix. I also took 800 mg of ibuprofen an hour before my appointment. The pain of the initial measuring of the cervix/uterus was like a mild period cramp, and then soon the iud insertion followed was still like a mild cramp. It all lasted 3 minutes and was definitely not that bad! I was dizzy that day, and so far I've had minimal spotting for a week, and light cramps every once in a while. I had sex 5 days in and I didn't feel a thing either. Overall, a great birth control decision! Do not scare yourself reading reviews!"
