"so i barely got the iud today. and it was the best decision ever. i read a whole bunch of other experiences so i freaked myself out, and went on youtube and just freaked myself even more. honestly, the process of the insertion was not painful at all. my whole body was shaking because i was so nervous but it did not hurt. after i went home i started cramping a little. i got the iud inserted at 1pm and its almost 8pm and the cramps are a little painful but its nothing i cant handle. i would highly recommend this to any other girl who wants to get one. i am 22 years old and i had my daughter at 18, so i do not want children for a while because i am trying to focus on college and getting my degree so this was a perfect choice for me."
