Birth Control
"A horrible experience!
I am 38, was on OrthoCyclen for 10+ Yrs, have 2 kids. The family planning clinic urged me to get an IUD &amp; I was excited to try it.

INSERTION: excruciating, WAY worse than childbirth! I have a high pain tolerance, but even w/15mg Oxy+Tramadol 100mg, I almost fainted, begging her to stop. I&#039;m small, 5&#039;7&quot;, 114 lbs, tiny pelvis w/tilted cervix, maybe this made it worse.

SIDE EFFECTS: awful :(
-painful gums (hormones affect dental health)
-severe headaches daily
-peri-oral dermatitis (Face rash)
-too much severe pain all day every day to even think about sex
-WORST is constant cramps referring pain down my leg
-blood/spotting 

It&#039;s been a month of TORTURE, can&#039;t wait to get it out! Please do research &amp; be prepared:("
