birth control
"I'm 23, and I have one child. I've tried several different birth controls and had bad reactions to them all. My doctor suggested an IUD and I was open to trying it after she gave me details. I knew the insertion would be painful but I had no idea how painful. It was honestly comparable to labor contractions. That only lasted for a day or so, and it was hardly noticeable when I actually took medicine for it. Its been about a week and a half and I have had dark red blood every day (but to be fair, I had been bleeding for a month straight due to the birth control I was taking before). I still get cramps every now and then, but nothing too bad. I was told by friends that the symptoms last for about a month, so I'm hoping for the best!"
