"i got my iud fitted 2 days ago (17th dec) i&#039;m 20, never had a baby and had a bad response to the pill so decided the coil would be the best option for my boyfriend and i. i took ibuprofen 30mins before the procedure yet i found it extremely painful. (the insertion was very quick though so this didn&#039;t last too long!) however afterwards i was very faint and had to stay lying down for a long time. when i got home i slept and took more painkillers and started to feel ok. 6am the next morning i woke up with really intense abdominal pain.my boyfriend phoned the nhs helpline and they suggested to get myself to a&amp;e. thankfully there were no complications and i was given cocodomol which has helped greatly.i now have no pain &amp;excited about having it!"
