birth control
"I thought I would share my insertion experience. I would rate pain as a 2/10. I had some discomfort during the clamping of my cervix and the measuring of my uterus. There was mild cramping and an awkward feeling because having something in your uterus is not something you normally feel. The actual insertion was one second of strong pressure and done! I have had worse cramping during my period and the cramping from prep and insertion went away almost instantly. I highly recommend getting it done during your period (my doctor suggested it) because you cervix dilates slightly and softens to allow menstrual flow."
