"if you are here to gauge how painful an iud insertion is, i beg you to not read any reviews on it. pain is subjective. it really varies from person to person. i say this because i was on here the week before my appointment reading every bit of information. this made my process a thousand times worse. i was so nervous when i went in because reviews said it would be the worst pain i would ever experience. so far from the truth. the doctor will tell you everything you&#039;re about to feel; take their word for it. they won&#039;t deceive you. i cried a ton because i was so nervous. relax. take deep breaths, you&#039;ll feel a pinch, it&#039;ll hurt some, but not a lot. you&#039;ll feel a sudden cramp. it&#039;ll hurt becuase it&#039;s sharp, but that&#039;s it. quick and easy! :)"
