I had no pain during insertion, only some mild cramping afterward. My periods were really crazy for several months and then they just stopped, but I had discharge all the time. I had to constantly wear a light day pad and I hated that. I had a major decrease in sex drive and pain during intercourse which I never had before, I decided to have it out two weeks ago and since then I have been bleeding very heavily with a lot of clotting. I defintiely don't like that, but I have noticed an increase in sex drive almost right away.
