birth control
"I'm 18, 5'2" 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've had maybe one or two cramps. We'll see how the following months go but so far, so good!"
