birth control
"Well to start off, I actually was on pills before this iud, I was bleeding for almost a month so I knew I had to try something different.  Let me just say "OUCH!"  The measuring part is what hurt the most honestly. Silly me for thinking they were going to measure with a ruler. (Eye roll) since I was a teen (now 23) I have experienced a bad life with cramps. When I was going through this, all I could compare it too was mild contractions. They hurt don't get me wrong but they weren't the real deal. I'm only on my second day with the iud, but I think its going well. I still have crazy cramps but I feel good. I mean, the bleeding stopped so thats a check on my book. I will post again and hope these cramps go away for good. (Fingers crossed)"
