"i got my iud put in in august and i literally have not stopped bleeding since. my doctor told me i could bleed for up to 6 months (it&rsquo;s been 3) but i didn&rsquo;t think that it would be constant. the first 2 weeks were  awful. given, i don&rsquo;t have the highest pain tolerance, but i was truly in a lot of pain for about a month after. getting the iud put in was so painful for me. the actual process only took about 10 minutes, but i sat in the room being fanned by a poor nurse and her giving me juice so i didn&rsquo;t pass out for an hour. hopefully, after 6 months all will be normal and that the pain will be worth it."
