birth control
"I'm 19 (no kids) and I got this inserted because regular birth control pills were giving me extremely unhealthy side effects like black out migraines where my vision would blur. The insertion was definitely painful and I bled for several days after. My cramping was excruciating the first 2-3 days but settled afterwards. I had occasional cramps for weeks that would hurt a lot but not unbearable. I still get my period but it's very light and I experience spotting a few days before my period and a few days after. However, I'm so happy I got an IUD rather than continuing to take pills. I think its definitely worth it and now 3 months later I barely experience any side effects. I still have occasional cramps during my period but not bad at all"
