birth control
"I am 18 year old sexually active female and decided I didn't want to worry about getting pregnant for all eight years of my upcoming college career. Plus I didn't want hormones. I got my first pelvic exam and the paragard iUD put in on the same day without my mom and was fine. Yes it was awkword and yes it hurt. But nothing I couldn't handle. I didn't cry. Compared to breaking my arm it was NOTHING. Just a super bad period cramp some sharp pain and over 5 minutes. I took four ibuprofen before I went also. Then I was done bleeding a little bit bled heavily for a couple days, cramps. But then after a week I couldn't feel it at all went back to working out and doing everything normally. Totally recommend it."
