"i feel compelled to post this for all of you considering getting an iud. when i was considering getting mine, all the horror stories on the internet made me so scared to get and iud i backed out of the procedure as soon as i got to the doctor&#039;s office twice. i&#039;m 20, and i&#039;ve never been pregnant, so i thought it was going to be the most painful procedure i could imagine. i just got my liletta today, and having taken ibuprofen and a numbing shot, i felt close to nothing at all during the whole insertion process. started cramping about 20 minutes later, but nothing nearly as bad as my worst menstrual cramps."
