birth control
"22 years old, was on the pill for 5 years, no children. And I wanted something new. Well, I had my insertion approx. 2 hours ago and I have to say, it was painful. But it was a pain that is completely tolerable. Expect some discomfort and lightheadedness afterwards. Take it slow, I recommend laying down for an additional 10-15 mins (my gyno recommended this as well). I strongly advise having a close relative or significant other to drive!! The cramps lessen throughout time, and they come in extreme waves. But it's no worse than your first day period cramps. I know you're thinking "Eh... I'm still not sure...." But I'm here to tell you, this is a procedure that's worth it. Do it now, so you can be responsible in your future."
