Birth Control
"After spending a lot of time reading reviews and doing research before getting my IUD, I wanted to share my insertion experience. Personally, I would rate the overall pain as maybe a 2/10. For those ladies who get bad cramps during menstruation, the cramping I experienced was maybe half as bad as some of my worst cramps. Overall, I would say the experience causes more discomfort than pain. I was not on my period during insertion (mid cycle actually). It&#039;s been about 10 hours since the insertion and I still have mild cramping. I took ibuprofen prior to my appointment and haven&#039;t taken more. My experience was no where near as bad as I was expecting based on other reviews. As many have pointed out, everybody&#039;s body is different."
