"i am 34, no kids. i chose this method due to it being convenient and non hormonal. i decided to read up on reviews and watch youtube videos before hand. mistake. i was absolutely terrified the day of my appt. because of how painful 8/10 users said it was. my dr prescribed me something to soften my cervix and told me to take ibuprofen before hand. i decided because of how nervous i was to go further than that. i took 2 xanex, and 1- 600 mg ibuprofen about 2 hours prior to the procedure and about 30 min prior to the procedure took tylenol w/hydrocodone. i was loopy and barely felt anything. a few hours later cramping, bleeding and a dull back ache. today is day 5, i do hope the cramping subsides."
