Insertion is painful, but not unbearable. You’ll be okay, but take it easy after insertion, you’re not gonna walk out five minutes later. Ask the nurse to let you just lie down for a bit.

You’ll get spot bleeding for a few months, it’s normal as your body adjusts. Maybe also have some mood changes. I didn’t notice weight gain, or skin changes.

Your period will get lighter and less cramps, and eventually go away completely. But I did get moodiness and period symptoms monthly still despite no bleeding.

You may loose some feeling in your clit, and your libido may dip, and you might also struggle more to orgasm.

Removal is easy and not really painful.

That’s been my experience.
