birth control
"I received the IUD yesterday; this comment is to share the insertion process. I am 24 years old with no children. I was pretty scared for the insertion, so much so I had my boyfriend come because I was unsure of whether or not I'd be able to drive home. I took 800mg of Tylenol beforehand and ate a big breakfast. The whole process took maybe 3 minutes. It was very painful but it was tolerable. First, they use a ruler to measure your uterus. Then they insert the device. I had intense cramping (contraction like cramps) for about 30 seconds. Focus on your breathing during this!! I started to shake and felt a bit lightheaded, but this subsided within a minute. My boyfriend was so surprised to see me walk out with a smile on my face!"
