"don&#039;t let all of the internet stories about painful insertions scare you away from getting a paragard. i had mine inserted today and it was really no big deal at all. i&#039;m 20 years old and have never had children. i also was not on my period when i went in for the procedure. the doctor didn&#039;t instruct me to take any pain killers beforehand, but i went ahead and took 2 advils one hour before insertion.



the procedure was extremely quick. its uncomfortable for sure, but i didn&#039;t really feel any pain at all.  you feel stuff going on down there, and you can feel the thing inside your uterus which is weird, but there wasn&#039;t actually any pain. i only felt a slight pinch when iud was passing through my cervix, but that&#039;s it! piece of cake."
