birth control
"I just had the copper iud put in yesterday, so I can only rate my experience so far. After reading page after page about this product and tons of reviews, I was very scared about the pain factor. I'm 40 and have never been pregnant, so I assumed insertion would be painful. I ate breakfast and took 800mg of Ibuprofen 2 hours prior to my appointment. I practiced my yoga breathing and focused on a spot on the ceiling. No problem. The doctor doing the procedure wasn't experienced, so a supervising physician was there. They told me what they were doing at each phase. They dilated me to a 6, then a 7. I felt a little pressure and it was uncomfortable, but no pain at any point. I even went on an excursion to the Queen Mary with family later."
