"i&#039;m sorry to be the negative nancy, but the past two nights of my life have been miserable. i am 26 yrs old with no pregnancies or children. yes, the insertion process hurt really, really badly! don&#039;t let the high-pain tolerance of these chicks fool you. it hurt, but it was fast. the whole procedure lasted maybe 5-6 minutes from prep to finish. just had to cuss and laugh my way through it. had no problems the rest of the day...until i went to bed. what followed was excruciating pain!! lasted about two hours. nothing helped me. today, i have been fine under high doses of ibuprofen. i cleaned house and went to work. i climbed into bed and prayed for no more pain. have been wide awake since 5am (it&#039;s 6:52) in horrific agony!!"
