"i&#039;m 18, 5&#039;2&quot; and 111lbs. i got the paragard about 5 hours ago. on a scale from 1-10, the procedure was 2 for uncomfortability but absolutely no pain upon placing the iud! i am on my period and i was given misoprostol to soften my cervix even more in order to dialate for the procedure. i was also given vicodin to take an hour prior to the placement. perhaps the vicodin helped more than i realized but the procedure could not have gone better. and in the last five hours i&#039;ve had maybe one or two cramps. we&#039;ll see how the following months go but so far, so good!"
