birth control
"16, I got this in late July. I wanted it because the effectiveness of it and the fact the hormones are synthetic. I took some kind of medicine in the morning to open my cervix and I was on my period at the time. It was the worst pain I had ever had, like an extreme period cramp for three days. I couldn't sleep at night or eat. I took some Midol that helped my sister when she got hers but nothing I took helped at all. But it only lasted 3 days. I had spotting for the first month and had a normal period with slightly worse cramps, but it was nothing ibuprofen couldn't fix. The strings sometimes stab my partner and we have to stop, but it is effective. He finishes in me pretty much everytime we have sex and I haven't gotten pregnant so far."
