birth control
"I'm 25, and have never had kids. Insertion wasn't bad, like a PAP x 3? Cramps after were more strange feeling than super painful-- it felt kinda stabby?



I broke out pretty bad 2 weeks after insertion, but it healed up pretty quickly and hasn't happened again. 



I had very regular, light, and non-painful periods before. My cycle is now shorter (24 days). Before, cramps just enough to remind me that my uterus exists and a reg. tampon every 6 hours on the heaviest day. Now, a super plus every 4 hours and cramps that wake me up from deep sleep/feel like my insides will fall out, but they almost completely go away with ibuprophen



Totally worth it



First 3 months, random poke-cramps, freaked me out, but normal. 

Ovulation is also more painful."
