"i&#039;m 34 with no children. insertion was quite painful. i took tramadol before the procedure and it was still pretty painful---but the whole procedure only took about a minute. i cramped pretty bad for the first 2 days-had to take ibuprofen around the clock. it wasn&#039;t normal cramps, more like a intense shooting pain. now , 5 weeks later, everything is great. 
if i had to have another inserted, i would ask for pain rx to take before the insertion."
