"my new obgyn surgeon suggested this as a last ditch effort before i get a hysterectomy for non stop bleeding for the last two years (not from fibroids, uterus with almost no lining).  this is extremely painful!  if you&#039;ve ever had a biopsy in your uterus, just imagine having biopsy&#039;s all night long after you get this inserted.  i was not prepared for this and maybe it&#039;s just my body.  but i can tell you that half my body is tattooed and have a very high pain tolerance.  tattooing is like a day at the spa compared to the pain of this iud.  i was so close to going to the er last night.  it&#039;s day no# 2 and i&#039;m still in a lot of constant pain and had to call into work sick.  please head my warning before getting this foreign object inserted!"
