birth control
"Hi all, I just wanted to share my experience with the copper IUD insertion procedure as I know many women (myself included) are very anxious and turned off by the procedure. The actual insertion did not hurt at all, there was cramping that hurt when she measures my cervix which was painful but lasted all of 10 seconds. The whole procedure took 5 minutes or less! I would highly recommend getting someone to drive you to the doctors/hospital as I felt very faint and dizzy afterwards and thought I qas going to vomit, I've had it in 12hrs now and the cramping was severe afterwards (heat pack and naprogesic work a treat!) but it's worn now, I've also been spotting too but the doctor said it should go in a couple of days. Hope this helps!"
