Birth Control
"I got my IUD earlier this week. I would say that the insertion wasn&#039;t so much painful as it was uncomfortable and anxiety inducing. It&#039;s weird to have someone poking around up there with metal instruments. The more you relax, the easier it is. I took valerian and motrin before my appointment.



Immediately after the appointment I felt sick in the way I feel after a blood draw. My blood pressure was low, my anxiety was kind of high, and my body was not happy about the foreign object. I was crampy and sweaty and nauseous. I went home and put on comfy pants and put a hot water bottle on my belly. I was crampy for about five hours. I&#039;ve been fine the rest of the week!"
