birth control
"I just wanted to share my experience to balance out some of the horror stories out there. 



A month ago, I had the copper IUD inserted. I've never been pregnant. I'm also in Canada, so I was able to get a prescription for the Flexi-T which is a smaller version made specifically for nulliparous women. 



Insertion hurt but not as bad as I had prepared myself for. Didn't get any spotting in between insertion (during period) and my first real period. My first period came like clockwork (4 weeks to the day after my last one) and is heavier than usual, but not any more painful. 



Far better than dying of a blood clot from hormonal BC."
