birth control
"I read about 300,000 reviews before my insertion so I figured I’d contribute my experience. I’m 27, no kids, no birth control and first IUD. 

I had this inserted this morning so this is insertion only. I’ll update after my follow up visit in 4-6 weeks. I was terrified of insertion after reading some of the horror stories. I was prescribed misoprostol (orally) and hydrocodone (5/325). I also took 2 midol complete, and asked for a cervical block. This worked for me. 

The insertion did not feel like a cramp but two instances of someone scratching my uterus from the inside. Not painful but uncomfortable for 2, 3 second instances. Did not feel the tenaculum or block at all. Heat is doing wonders for the cramps."
