"it is about 10pm and i had my iud insertion at 4 today. the night before, i inserted a misoprostol tab to ripe/dilate my cervix. i agree with most of the reviews that insertion isn&#039;t painful, but very uncomfortable. there was some pressure and cramping that didn&#039;t feel like a menstrual cramp, but close. after insertion i just had light cramping. i went out to dinner quickly after, and during my dinner i felt weak and flushed. i didn&#039;t feel like eating or talking. i started to feel better, but i just felt like i was having a hot flash. now i&#039;m feeling fine and there&#039;s some light spotting and clots. my doctor told me to have nothing in the vagina for a week and will get my strings checked next month. i would definitely do this again!"
