"before i got my paragard put in (two days ago), i was psyching myself out. i had heard that for women like me who have not had kids, having an iud put in was super painful and awful. oh please. ha. 
if i said it didn&#039;t hurt i would be a big fat liar, but it didn&#039;t hurt even half as bad as i was expecting. if you are thinking about going with this, just know that all it feels like is a severe period cramp. don&#039;t let that freak you out, it&#039;s uncomfortable, and honestly it is painful, but not anything a woman can&#039;t handle. that&#039;s coming from someone who has a low pain tolerance, and is a total wimp. i am on day three of having it in, and i love it. the day it was put in was the worst, cramps are pretty bad, but it gets easier and easier."
