Birth Control
"I&#039;ve never had kids, and read all the horror reviews before going for my appt.
Truth is: Yes it was super uncomfortable. The clamp felt like a period cramp that wouldn&#039;t ebb off. It was not &#039;painful&#039;, and definitely not the worst pain I&#039;ve ever been in. If you&#039;ve stubbed your toe or had your ears pierced, you will be just fine. 
I held the nurse assistants hand which really helped (silly I know) and I talked about something else the whole way through to keep distracted.
Please don&#039;t let the &#039;insertion torture&#039; reviews put you off having the IUD. Everyone is different, and it&#039;s unlikely you will be one of the people who has an awful experience. I drove there and home myself and was fine."
