abnormal uterine bleeding
"OK if you are considering getting an IUD inserted & are scared,don't be!  All of these women are putting out horror stories! I am 23,never had kids, and I've only received a pap once! Insertion is not as painful as everyone says! Yes it hurt, but was it was completely bearable. It was a sharp pain & some pressure for about 2 mins. I got it on on Monday & it's Wednesday & all I can say is I've stopped my terrible bleeding ! I did bleed the first day & have cramps & I'm currently still a bit crampy but I also have stomach issues so I'm more sensitive than most! It's not that bad! Of course getting something inserted in your uterus isn't a day at the park, but its not like you're going to die of pain! Its a few days of not being comfortable for 5 years of worry free BC!"
