"i wanted to comment on insertion. my iud experience was awesome!! it took them 1 minute to measure and insert it. it did not hurt! it felt like a weird pressure in a strange place, but it was no big deal. i also relaxed a lot! i can imagine the only reason why it hurts for some people is because they don&#039;t relax!! my body did briefly faint because it was confused by something going in the cervix, but it was fine after that. i went about my day like nothing happened. i have not had children. they prescribed misoprostol and valium beforehand. i also took almost 500 mg of naproxen. maybe that helped, but i&#039;m always relaxed about gynocologist stuff."
