"i just got mine in today and came to talk about the insertion process. a lot of the internet says it hurts so badly, but i didn&#039;t have any issues - it barely hurt at all. ask your doctors about misaprostal - i have never had children but that medication made it to where my uterus didn&#039;t have to be dilated, not to mention the less pain i experienced! it felt less bad than a stomach cramp, and a lot less bad than a muscle cramp. don&#039;t be afraid!"
