Birth Control
"Don&#039;t let all of the internet stories about painful insertions scare you away from getting a Paragard. I had mine inserted today and it was really no big deal at all. I&#039;m 20 years old and have never had children. I also was NOT on my period when I went in for the procedure. The doctor didn&#039;t instruct me to take any pain killers beforehand, but I went ahead and took 2 Advils one hour before insertion.



The procedure was extremely quick. Its uncomfortable for sure, but I didn&#039;t really feel any pain at all.  You feel stuff going on down there, and you can feel the thing inside your uterus which is weird, but there wasn&#039;t actually any pain. I only felt a slight pinch when IUD was passing through my cervix, but that&#039;s it! Piece of cake."
