"every persons experience is different and let me tell you reader i am super sensitive and i don&#039;t like medicine at all. it took me 3 years to actually have an iud and my original reason was anemia but i also want birth control. i took my time and visited my doc several times making sure my body was ready. i eat all organic and i exercise regularly. the day of my procedure i took 1 advil and 1 shot whisky.  procedure lasted less than 1 min and my pain level was about a 5. i took the rest of my day lying in bed with a hot pad and bled for 2 days (spotting) 5 days after zero pain zero bleeding and sex! so glad i did it !! i&#039;m 48 with a small frame and my procedure was 4/5/17 i&#039;d do it again !!!"
