"23, never been pregnant. i freaked myself out reading all the horror stories but the procedure was painless for me. i had 800mg ibuprofen and a quarter of xanax before the appt. my np stabilized my cervix which felt like a hard, dull pinch followed by a cramp that faded away after about 10 seconds. i didn&#039;t feel pain or discomfort as an effect of the sounding or insertion. i had no cramps upon insertion or immediately afterwards. i had a frappe after the appt, went shopping, met up with a friend and slept like a baby at night. it&#039;s now the day after and i still don&#039;t feel a thing. however, my period was supposed to end today and it hasn&#039;t so it may be the iud. very positive experience!"
