birth control
"Only rated a 9 because i haven't had it in for long! I got the paragard yesterday, and it was not nearly as bad as i thought it was going to be! don't be scared out of getting it from the bad reviews! it hurt getting inserted and when my cervix was clamped open, but the pain only lasted about 5 seconds and it was only a little bit worse than a regular period cramp. definitely take some advil before you go in to the doctor to get it. Day two, i haven't taken any pain killers and the pain isn't worse than a regular period. i didn't experience any cramping or lightheadedness immediately after insertion. I had bad mood swings and depression/anxiety from hormonal birth control so this is a great non-hormonal option for me! & it lasts for10years!"
