Im 24, had my first (copper) IUD put in at 19 when I started dating my ex. It hurt like a motherfucker. "just a pinch" is 100% bullshit, I couldn't stand and the obgyn used a giant speculum for no good reason. It honestly seemed like she had a vendetta against me.

Even after the 2 months of pain they call the adaptation period, I could still feel it move around - I could feel that there was something there.

We broke up at 21, I had it removed, and I haven't dated for 3 years, honestly in part because it's gonna take a hell of a man to convince me to go back on the rigmarole bullshit that is female contraceptive options. The lesbians were right all along
