Hello everyone. Lately I've been having intense cramping during my cycle. It's only for the first couple days or so but it's been hard to go to work on those days and I have to take 3 Advil every six hours to get some relief. My gyn recommend kyleena, after an ultrasound came back with no issues (currently I'm taking lo Loestrin) to help shorten my cycle and possibly reduce cramping. I've read the horror stories of the insertion and I know that is going to be a problem for me as I don't do well with exams or pap smears, but my Dr. said she may be able to give me something to help with that, but insurance may not cover that part. And then there's the fact that every women is different and their body reacts differently, so it may not help at all. And it's not like it's just something I can stop taking I have to make an appointment and get it taken out.

So I can take a risk and try something that may help, or continue popping Advil like candy. I've changed my mind about 5 times already, one minute I think it's too much of a risk, and the next, it could totally be worth the pain to get it and get some relief. What are your opinions?
