birth control
"I had my insertion a week ago at a planned parenthood location.   I was nervous after reading all the reviews - but honestly - it was nothing.  Let it be said - it was uncomfortable (like a yearly exam) but not painful.   I had a few cramps for 2 days but nothing unmanageable.   I was on my period (which the doc said helps) and took 600mg ibuprofen an hour before the visit.   I have been spotting ever since (only a week) but no pain or cramps."
