"i work as a medical assistant at a gyno office so i&#039;ve seen thousands of women get there iud and even assisted in the procedure with the doctors/ nurse practitioners. i probably have used every single form of birth control out there besides the injection and i would get intense migraines on every single one of them. once i got married i knew my inconsistent use of birth control was no longer going to slide so i knew i had to pick something that was fool proof and long lasting with the least amount of side effects. experience: i have very irregular periods and you have to get your iud inserted on you period so i didn&#039;t know i was getting my iud until the day of. i took 2 motrin an it hurt so so so bad, but it was a very quick pain.
