birth control
"I had my IUD put in in the beginning of March 2016. It hurt, but it wasn't THAT bad. I would say 7 on a 10 scale and it was over in less than a minute. I was really freaking out over nothing. I had high hopes because cramping that day was minimal. However, I spotted for 2 full months, almost 3. I cramped horribly for about 6 weeks; but it wasn't continuous. It was a lot of random ouch ouch ouch! cramps and then it would be over just like that. I cramped and bled after exercise and sex for the first 6 weeks. Doing SO much better now! No cramping ever, periods are lighter. PMS seems bad though (mood swings, irritability, appetite increase). Glad I did it."
