"i have had the iud for about 8 months now. i have never had children but because of its smaller size i figured it was no biggie. the nurse who was to insert it said the same thing so i figured it would be a breeze. well, it wasn&#039;t. it was extremely painful when she inserted it. i was nauseous and had diarhea for about and hour and a half after it was inserted. she had me stay for a half hour because i had gone pale and she was concerned, but she said she hadn&#039;t seen that happen before (she was a pretty old lady) so don&#039;t think it&#039;s going to happen to you because it did to me. had i expected some pain i don&#039;t honk it would have been nearly as bad. so, expect it to hurt and hope you&#039;re disappointed."
