"i got my iud inserted on november 18 2015. i read all of these horror stories on this site and it got me freaked out to get my iud inserted. i have had one child so insertion was absolutely painless for me. the procedure was quick and the doctor talks you through everything. take some medications before and relax! i have had absolutely no cramping or spotting after my iud insertion. the only thing i have noticed is sometimes i&#039;m slightly more irritable. do not let these stories scare you into not getting an iud. most people don&#039;t write about the positive experiences just negative."
