birth control
"I have never had kids and don't want to for a while.  

I got the insertion a month ago.  It wasn't pleasant, but it really wasn't as bad as what I had read.  A few waves of cramping and it was over - I felt totally fine and went out that evening and everything!  
For the first few weeks I had discharge from brown to red that seemed to be a tissue-like consistency.  This last week I suddenly started getting very bad cramping.  I went into my doctors to get it checked out and everything looks fine!  Apparently that happens.  I'm a bit more irritable than normal, but otherwise everything else is as it always is.  I suggest taking pain medicine before your appointment, getting panty liners, and underwear you don't mind throwing out :)"
