Birth Control
"I quickly grew tired of using the Nuvaring and decided an IUD was the best decision because of its effectiveness. However, I made the mistake of reading every IUD insertion review and got extremely anxious. Each person has their own experience and pain tolerance! With that being said, the insertion was not the most pleasant experience (2 bad cramps and a heat flash) but it only took 3-5 minutes. I spent the remainder of the day resting with a heating pad and taking Midol while working from home. There is an increase of bleeding/spotting and I do experience headaches but I am told this will pass with time. My advice is to research the possible side effects and then be committed to whichever decision you make. IMO the 1st month is the worst."
