"This will hurt like a son of a bitch. And then you will have cramps, and it will be awful for a few days."
Seriously. Although yesterday I stumbled across a post from the Royal College for Women, where they talk about how they use either general or local anesthetic to put in IUDs. !!! Why not me!
Oh yeah, a it of the ladies on Corporette have said it hurt like a mofo. :(
I do not want to get up. I hit snooze about 8 times. Which is ridiculous because it's not like I then got good sleep for that extra hour or more.
Yeah, getting my IUD inserted (and my previous one removed) hurt a LOT. I knew going in that it could hurt, but it hurt WAY more than I anticipated.
Americans are from pioneer stock. We don't need no pain medications.
erika, I'm so very sorry.
Seriously, if it hurts, why aren't painkillers offered? Isn't that what they're for?
Only if you're a male-type person, with manly symptoms of the manly body. Apparently. Women in pain? It's all in our heads.
I had an IUD about a few decades ago. It hurt like hell a couple days And Then Came Out! It is not a fond memory. Apparently they are a whole bunch better than they were back then, but the body still does not appreciate the insertion.
I am so sorry erika
Also sorry Consuela that we didn't warn you. I don't remember mine hurting overly, but that just means that it didn't hurt any more than the cervical biopsy and the 3 IUIs I had done.
