birth control
"I got my Copper T about 7 months ago and I love it. I am 22- haven't had kids- so the insertion was pretty horrible. Really, really painful. I had horrific cramping and bleeding that whole day, an unreal amount of bleeding that night (seriously), but then the next day just a tiny bit of cramping and bleeding. My periods are slightly heavier than they were before, my cramping is normal, and my period lasts about 5 days. The only real difference in my periods is that they are much more spread out- I've been getting them every 5 to 7 weeks (this may have to do with me and my past history of birth control though). The insertion was bad but so worth it. I don't even know it's there. I recommend!"
