"i had a horrible experience i got it done last friday 6/17/16. they never mentioned anything about it being painful and they never offered me any pain pills and there was no injection of analgesics to the cervix like i&#039;ve read other people getting (after the fact) it literally felt like i was going to give birth it was very painful and i&#039;m a tough cookie and i&#039;m really upset that they had to open up my cervix to do it. yes they open up your cervix. i thought they just inserted it through the cervicle whole but no... it&#039;s only been in a day and i&#039;m having really bad cramping and headaches. i wish i never got it. i&#039;m getting it removed asap.  if you do plan to do it make sure you take 800 mg ibuprofen before hand."
