birth control
"I'm writing a post insertion review. I got my IUD inserted 5 days ago. The insertion was quick, about 2 min. I have a low pain threshold. But it wasn't much worse than a PAP exam. I have white coat syndrome, so I was clammy and nervous. But that's normal for me. I cramped with really dull cramps that evening. But they have since been fewer and further between. I sat on the floor to do my nails after and that felt better than laying down. Ibuprofen and heated adhesive pads helped a lot. My period started 2 days before insertion, and was heavy for 24 hours, but after that, normal. After reading some reviews, I plan to take iron supplements and probiotics to prevent iron deficiency and vaginal infections. I was on the Nuvaring for 5 years. :)"
