birth control
"I had the coil fitted three days ago. I found the actual insertion of the coil painful enough and needed to focus on my breathing to manage it - however, it wasn't unbearable and it only lasted a couple of minutes (I'd forgotten to take ibuprofen beforehand which the doctor had previously advised me to do). The pain subsided very quickly and I only had period like cramping for the rest of the day. Apart from some light spotting which is normal, I feel completely back to normal now and I'm thrilled that I've had it fitted. I just feel like the two to three minutes of pain is completely worth it for the benefits of having a non hormonal for of contraception that will last for 10 years."
