birth control
"I got this IUD a week ago, after much research, and after several years of trying to be on birth control but hating the mood swings and forgetting to take it all the time. 
The insertion wasn't too bad. It didn't hurt so much as feel odd/uncomfortable, like a consistent cramp that lasted. I have pretty bad period cramps as it is so it wasn't too bad for me. I was surprised at how quick it went overall. My whole appointment took 40 minutes and 3/4 of that was waiting and signing the paperwork. I went back to work after and worked for 3 hours before heading home for the day. I felt tight and crampy but it was bearable with motrin. The next day and ever since, I've had very light spotting but other than that felt great and perfectly normal!"
