"i read about 300,000 reviews before my insertion so i figured i&rsquo;d contribute my experience. i&rsquo;m 27, no kids, no birth control and first iud. 

i had this inserted this morning so this is insertion only. i&rsquo;ll update after my follow up visit in 4-6 weeks. i was terrified of insertion after reading some of the horror stories. i was prescribed misoprostol (orally) and hydrocodone (5/325). i also took 2 midol complete, and asked for a cervical block. this worked for me. 

the insertion did not feel like a cramp but two instances of someone scratching my uterus from the inside. not painful but uncomfortable for 2, 3 second instances. did not feel the tenaculum or block at all. heat is doing wonders for the cramps."
