"ladies do not do what i did and read all these reviews and freak yourself out! when i got my iud placed they gave me a pill to help open up my cervix so it would be less painful. i was so terrified to get it done due to the horrifying reviews. i finally got up the courage to finally have the doctor do it. ladies it was nothing! they put the clamp on my cervix which didn&#039;t feel great but it wasn&#039;t ungodly painful. the actual insertion took like 30 seconds and then it was done. i felt a cramp but not worse than the ones i get before i&#039;m about to start. after it was done i had mild cramping for an hour then nothing. i also had no spotting at all. please remember pain is subjective and don&#039;t let a terrible review stop you from getting it."
