"hey ladies, many of the reviews are terrifying and because of that i went into my appointment very nervous. i watched cat videos while waiting for the doctor to come in to help my stressing. (it worked). 

so what it was like: the majority of the procedure felt just like i was getting a pap smear. i tend to be sensitive to the speculum so i had some discomfort with that. not until the doctor said &quot;okay you&#039;re going to feel some pressure&quot; did i feel a strong sharp pain. it was gone as quickly as it happened, just made me gasp a bit. then one more sensation like that of the actual placement and it was over. 

the cramps for the hour afterward were very uncomfortable. home with ibuprofen and i feel good with slight cramping. remember to breathe!"
