"i only had the iud put in yesterday so my review is only regarding insertion because i seem to have had a very different experience than other women here. i may have a low pain threshold but my word it was absolutely horrendous. i was given heavy ibuprofen about 10 mins before and was in a jolly mood, excited to finally get this and dump the pill, but found the entire process painful. my doctor was incredible and so were the nurses but i reacted like a mad woman, screaming and crying like i never have before really. when i apologized to the dr for my actions she said i wasn&#039;t even on the list of the &#039;screamers&#039; she had seen that day. so just a warning- this is not a &#039;bearable&#039; experience for everyone. still glad i did it."
