birth control
"I had a rough start with this IUD, but I have no kids, a small figure, and had been on the pill for 5 years. I was given a cervix softener and 800 mg ibuprofen, but I really don't think they helped me. Insertion was very painful and I almost passed out. I had to lay at the doctors office for a little over an hour to recover before driving home. I was still in a lot of pain and my doctor was nice enough to give me a muscle relaxer. A lot of pain and nausea the first two days and then that subsided. I spotted consistently for 3 weeks and have had occasional spotting since then, but no periods. I do have increased acne, but I expected that when going off the pill. Not needing to worry about birth control for the next five years is amazing."
