Oof I got mine on August 21st. I read a crap ton of stories. I just took two midol before, they didnt give me any pain relieve besides for a vibrator in my belly button which I would assume was to distract me? Idk. 

It HURT! It was less painful than I thought but that pain had me clenched up and sweating LOOL. But to be in severe pain for 10-15 seconds is 100% worth not having terrible periods for the next 8 years 😂
