birth control
"I've had it in for about a month. Insertion was painful. I've never had children, though. Make sure you take Ibuprofen and eat something before your appointment, and have someone to drive you home.  

I had bad cramps for about a day and a half and spotting for 4-5 days.  Since then I have light cramps everyday that are easily remedied with a heating pad, and on occasion I may take some pain reliever. I find that working out helps the cramping. Sex is a little uncomfortable still (makes me crampy), but it is getting better.

I'm almost a week late. I've been told that isn't uncommon, but it's a little nerve racking.  

I feel more lively and my sex drive has increased! Best part? Completely covered by my insurance."
