birth control
"Got it when I was 18. No kids. Covered 100% Insertion felt like a bad period cramp. Was over before I knew it. Cramped for maybe a day or two. Manageable. My partner hardly complained that he felt the strings They never hurt him just sometimes they needed to be adjusted. I kept it in for 6 years because I didn't have insurance anymore. On the 6th year I had a light regular period. I had no weight gain, no mood swings (hormones are localized with mirena), no acne problems. No side effects at all."
