All the doctor told me was to take ibuprofen before the appointment. I knew it was going to hurt and be uncomfortable but nothing could’ve prepared me for the pain i felt. I started to cry when the dr measured my cervix and screamed when she inserted the iud. thank god i was lying down because i was so lightheaded and could no longer feel my hands. the fact that they never said/ recommended someone to drive me home after is beyond me because i spent the whole car ride with my mom sobbing in pain from the cramping. I started sweating profusely and was on the verge of passing out and throwing up once i got home. I spent the rest of the afternoon on and off crying from the pain and unable to even walk. I am so disappointed that no medical professional told me how it could be, if i knew it was going to be that painful i never would’ve went through with this. Now i am having mild cramping but so much anxiety about having this iud, im terrified that something is going to go wrong with it and i will have to feel that pain again
