Getting an IUD is no joke. It can be traumatic and excruciating. IUDs should NOT be inserted without sedation. People trust their doctors when they tell them that “Valium is all you'll need” and “anesthesia is unnecessary or rare”. That may be the case for some but not all. Having my cervix locally anesthetized and opened was the most physically and psychologically damaging discomfort I've ever felt in my life. Close friends with similar stories all confessed that they either fainted, sh!t themselves, or vomited during or after the procedure. This is unacceptable. It’s time that we normalize mentally safe and physically comfortable procedures specific to reproductive healthcare. Advocate for yourself, ask for sedation.

[@desertmoonlee6631]

The problem they always tell us we women have to endure suffering and pain. As you can see men don’t even want to take their birth control. It’s always women have to endure pain

[@leoniee1545]

I feel you. I used the hormonal IUD as last resort because all other birth control options had failed or weren't right for me. I did not vomit or faint, but I got vertigo and felt extremely violated. The pain of insertion was excruciating, but went away after 2h. But 1 day after hell began. I had cramps so awful heavy tears fell down my face during work. Last time I cried from pain was during my root canal surgery where anethesia didn't have an effect due to hormonal imbalances. The cramps continued for 2 more days. My experience of having the hormonal IUD in for 12 months: - horrible cramps in the first 3 days - (minor) bleeding for 12 months straight - heavier periods (yes heavier!) - worse cramps during periods than before - my partner bled quite profusely when the string stabbed him - overall moodiness and complete lack of libido All of my experiences might have to do with my body not reacting well to birth control hormones. Also, I have a retroflexive uterus, that might also be an issue why it was so uncomfortable.

My NP offered me a lidocaine shot when she inserted it, and that helped SO MUCH. I got my first IUD about a month ago + even with the lidocaine, it definitely did still hurt + I almost passed out when I stood up from the table because I was lightheaded from the cramping. With that said, on a scale of 1-10, I would rate the entire thing a 5 with the lidocaine shot. When I went home that day, I had horrible cramps, but they were no worse than my normal period cramps (I am 30 + have uterine fibroids with SUPER heavy bleeding that's made me anemic + in need of a transfusion, as well as debilitating cramps that kept me out of school + work for my entire pubescent life). Fast forward a couple of weeks: I was in a serious rollover car crash + taken to the hospital + given a trauma CT. The ER doctor kindly informed me that according to the CT, my IUD was out of place + that upon discharge I would need to consult with my OBGYN. I went in to see my OBGYN NP yesterday + had the original IUD removed + a new one placed. The IUD removal was NOTHING; I didn't even feel it! She, once again, gave me a lidocaine shot before inserting the new IUD, + while I did have cramping again, it was 10x easier than the first insertion. Even better, this time I didn't feel lightheaded when I stood up + I didn't have ANY cramping after! All in all, on a pain scale, I would rate IUD placement number two a 1 out of 10! I think part of this had to do with the fact that I was WAY MORE relaxed this time because I had done it before + I knew I could get through it. So, my best advice to you if you're going to get an IUD is: 1) ask for a lidocaine shot and 2) RELAX! Yes, I know relaxing is easier said than done, but the more relaxed you are, the easier the IUD can be inserted!

[@Crypticangel502]

I feel the need to share my own IUD story in here seeing all the scary experiences. I have a hormonal IUD I had placed last march, I was terrified because of all the stories I had heard about how much it hurt and all the trouble it could cause. But I didn't trust myself to remember to take pills every day, I don't like condoms and they aren't always handy or ruin the mood when you have to go grab one( for me personally). I was on the patch and was having trouble changing it on time. I am scared of needles so that shot was a no go and so was the in your arm one. I also was tired of having periods. It might be weird as a someone who had periods to want to take a option that would mean possibly no periods at all, but that's what I wanted. I looked around online about options that ticked off all my boxes and the IUD was the only one. I booked an appointment with a doctor that my primary recommended to me. I really like my primary and trust her to be in my best interest. The place I went to didn't have great reviews if I am being honest and it made me afraid because all the negative ones( while old) were about getting an IUD. The newer ones were all positive and some did mention a more comfortable IUD experience which made me more comfortable. The day of my appointment was just a consultation where the doctor talk about my options for getting the IUD. She explained about copper vs hormonal and the different brands. I picked the Mirena IUD because it would last for 5 years. My doctor said I should schedule my appointment when my period would be the heaviest that way my cervix would be the most open. Since I was on the patch I would be able to time that easily. Just take it off a week before and I would be on about day two of my period the day of my appointment. I took two painkillers before the insertion appointment and had two days off work planned just in case it was worse than I thought it would be. She explained everything she would be doing before she did it and was very honest with me. My doctor explain the process like 3 big cramps. The first would be the tenaculum holding the cervix, second would be measuring the depth of my cervix, and the last would be inserting the IUD. She set the tenaculum which didn't hurt, I barley felt it at all, it was like a mild cramping feeling. She got everything ready and when she was measuring she had me breath out when she did so and a cramp is a perfect description of the feeling. It hurt like a cramp hurt, a very big long cramp but I knew this feeling well my periods were always very crampy and painful one of the reasons I wanted the IUD. Then it was time to insert the IUD itself. I was nervous considering just measuring wasn't very pleasant. I would struggle to call any of this pleasant expect for her bedside manner. It again was a very strong cramp I think I yelped a little to be honest. And then it was over and done took maybe two minutes for the whole thing. She cut the strings and told me to wait a week before having sex or to use condoms and it would be normal for me to cramp and bleed for a few days afterwards. A nurse used a internal ultrasound to check that it was in place and I was free to go home. The first 3-5 weeks were probably the worst of the experience because I bled the whole time it was really heavy at first and then tapered off to somewhere between light and spotting. I cramped pretty bad for the first 2 weeks and that did suck. It went away though and I don't have a period anymore, unless you consider cramping a little and like 3 drops of blood once every 30 or so days a period. I love my IUD and the "big cramps" were worth it to me to avoid pregnancy(and periods.) IUDs aren't for everyone and every-body is different. I would find a doctor you truly trust who understands what you want and is willing to listen to your concerns about getting an IUD. Because it is scary and that's ok. You don't have to put your "big girl pants on" to get it or put on a brave face. Don't do it if something doesn't sit right with you about your doctor or you are uncomfortable. Also don't be scared to ask embarrassing questions, I asked my doctor if my boyfriend would push too hard on my cervix and make it fall out push pop style. Which won't happen by the way apparently the uterus moves with it. It doesn't have to be a traumatizing experience, ask or look up how the process goes. This video is a wonderful example of that, go into this with no chance for surprises from the process. There is no way to know how much the cramping will hurt, but if you prepare yourself and remember that the Doctor is doing their job they are not there to hurt you they don't want you to feel any discomfort if they can avoid it. Just go at your own pace and trust your own judgment you got this! Edit: I would like to add that it can take up to 6 month to get used to the IUD. Technically it is something foreign in your body that your uterus will try to remove and that might take a little time to go away. Probably one of the other downsides to it, but it is a dream afterwards. If not or you are concerned call you doctor and ask what to do. It is what they are there for, to help you.

[@priscillamatos3384]

I'm going to comment on my experience as having it for 2 years already (copper) because there's things I feel like should've been included . Now I had never been on birth control and I started looking on it when I because sexually active after 21 and on my own I decided that I did not want any hormones in my body because I take levothyroxine after removing my thyroid and also because my preference was to have a regular monthly period . My DR did once again go through the options with me and typically they just want you to know all the differences between IUDs so you choose what you feel is best . I have always had regular periods and the side effect on that is it becoming longer and heavier like stated in the video , however if your periods are heavy and irregular they recommend going for a hormonal option because it will help your cycle and might even stop it , ive know people who've experienced both. So it's really up to what you personally want your experience to be . The procedure does have options you can numb the area if you are nervous about the pain , they asked me if I wanted some pain medication before my procedure for the discomfort after and I said yes. I didn't numb and just took the medication and honestly everything for me was alright up until insertion where I felt pain on my left side . It kinda feels like a sharp cramp so I kinda flinched but there was relief after it was inserted . And it was a super fast procedure I was kinda surprised how fast it went. They gave me a liner to wear because spotting might happen afterwards which did to me , but not alot . Now the important thing to me is its not something you just "put in and forget about " . It's encouraged to check every month after your period to see if you can feel your strings . My DR gave me a piece of the string so I could know how it felt to touch it which was just string a bit hard eventhough now it's soft . In the case you don't feel the string thats when you should feel up to your cervix and make sure you don't feel anything coming out of your cervix. I've had times I could not feel my string and I panicked so for reassurance I went and everything was ok. In my experience if you do not feel the string and have abnormal cramping then it's a good idea to go make sure everything looks good. It's recommend to get an Anual gynecology exam which your DR will also check for your IUD making sure it's In place . For me I do my monthly check ups , I didnt feel the string this month but I checked my cervix area and it's fine and my exam is also coming up so im not worried at all. But if you are someone who does worry and you go to check it and your DR also cannot see your string themselves then an ultrasound is required, but usually that's not the case !. I've read some and seen so many videos of people becoming pregnant especially on the Copper IUD and alot of those are because they were not doing checks , and or the IUD slipped out which is more common in woman who have given birth. I have a co-worker who became pregnant on it but once again she did not know or was told to check it and after she did she felt it poking out of her cervix. Which if that happens don't pull it out , go to a family doctor or a PA. But I also knew someone who had a terrible experience with the Copper IUD who had to take it out. So it all really is dependent on individual experience For me my period was heavy at first for the first 2 months then returned to normal. My cycle days did not change. What did change was my cramps . Before the IUD I only really experienced back pain and occasional underbelly cramps. Now I experience less back pain but I get cramps the week before my Period and I'll usually get a sharp cramp on my left side that kinda goes down my leg , and it's usually followed by a light spotting. I'm ok with it because I'm a paranoid mess and I actually love knowing my period is on track and coming ! 🤣🤣🤣 . But overall personally I love my choice ! . And mine is a 10 year IUD . & it also can be as emergency contraception if inserted 5 days after unprotective sex ! . BTW; pain lasted for me after insertion a couple of hours , the it was about 2 days of discomfort, advil was what did it for me ! also my partner at the time when I first got it Said he could not feel anything even though I could feel my strings , so don't be scared and be open with your partner!. Also reminder that IUD does not prevent STDs or STIs so still practice safe sex 🤗.

[@justinenglish_5750]

Two methods exist with or without the tenaculum. The midwife who did the procedure on me did not use a tenaculum. Also I have never been pregnant and have no kid. However, I was on my period so the cervix was a bit more open than usual. It is up to the person who do the procedure and also if they have a clear vision of the cervix. Each and every experience is different. My experience was painful when she inserted it because the uterus contracted hard, then I had literal contractions for 12 hours, then a few here and there the day after. My sister was not on her period. Never pregnant and no children. She felt excruciating pain, she almost fainted. She had diarrhea after (from the contraction I think) and she was nauseous. My mother had a few contractions like a pinch. In general, from the three of us, I am the one with the less pain tolerance. Our mother has the highest.

[@stephanie2120]

As a former IUD user, the "uncomfortable feeling" you've described is actually the dilation of the cervix, something you DID NOT INCLUDE in this visual guide. This is the same process that a woman would go thru when in labor, and they DO physically dilate you, to 1-3 inches. IT IS PAINFUL. To say its "uncomfortable" is a gross misrepresentation of the actual pain that happens. Its EXCRUXIATING, as others here have attested. My experience with my IUD, lasted a whole 2 months. After the 1st month, I couldn't feel my strings, and became concerned. My Dr decided it probably fell out, and I should get another one put in. I was on the fence about that, because of my previous painful experience getting it put in. A week or so later, I felt a sharp pain in my back, and thought it was a Kidney infection. I went to the Dr, and was immediately sent to the ER. They determined that my IUD had escaped my Uterus. I was scheduled for immediate next day outpatient surgery which was scheduled to take 40 minutes from start to finish. Recovery should only be a couple of days, and I would need to be put under Anesthesia. But. My employer at the time, refused to give me the next day off work for the surgery, and I had to settle for 2 days later. By that time, the IUD had moved, and my simple 40 minute outpatient procedure turned into a 4 hour ordeal. I was out of commission for 1.5 weeks, and since I was getting it put in, after having my baby, and was returning from maternity leave, I had no saved up sick time or leeway with my time off. I eventually lost my job. FWD 5 years. I got pregnant again, and the egg implanted over the scar tissue from the IUD removal. This resulted in a complicated pregnancy, with a placenta accretia, and a complete placenta previa until the 8th month of gestation. After my baby was born, my placenta tore, and maintained a piece over the scar tissue that was a result of my IUD. I hemorrhaged and lost approx 9/11 pints of blood, according to my Dr, and almost died. I required 2 blood transfusions. I have been considering giving the IUD, another chance, maybe the copper IUD, the one I got before was the Mirena, but after re-telling my story here, and seeing it all together, and all the pieces that have come together, I'm not so sure that is the best idea tbh. Many women get an IUD and have no such story to share. My Best Friend loves her Copper IUD, and she is one of the main reasons I have considered getting my own. But. There is a reason they make you sign a waver when you get your IUD put in. They drastically downplay the number of women who have similar stories to mine, and their lawsuits for when things go wrong, total in the millions. Do your research, and if you still want one, go to someone who has put LOTS of them in. Go while ON your period, and if you think something IS WRONG, GO WITH YOUR GUT, and DO NOT let anyone tell you otherwise.

But it definitely made me feel safer, since my partner at the time was against condoms. So I took it upon myself to protect myself. I’m 19 now, but it definitely works. I feel much more safer, and tbh I get my period every 4-5 months, which is a plus. But I still get the same symptoms as a period every month, the breaking out, headaches, tender breast, and all that.

I got one on the 15th of February and today is the 19th of February. The pain is about 5 seconds long when doctor measures your cervix, then when inserting the cooper IUD is painless. My legs were shaking because of the pain but it was more of my Norma reaction to pain and stress. After it was done I sat up and it was like nothing happened. When using the bathroom I did bleed brown because of the solution they use to disinfect the cervix. I still have light spotting, which is normal. And I like it so far. Sometimes I feel some small sharp pokes in my uterus but nothing I can’t handle, comparing to the measuring the cervix part, where I did almost cry. I’ve had kids so maybe much more painful to those who don’t have kids. I’m just stressing over if it falls out on my period because I’ve heard it can. 😞 edit: my partner does not feel the strings at all and we both enjoy our time together with out anything different.

[@PilatesWithMeSDickens707]

I had terrible experience with second one under local anaesthetic, I have a narrow cervix also I didn’t give birth that’s makes the cervix more narrow , I almost passed out , blood pressure increased , I was shaky like crazy .. first one was under general anaesthetic and ok …never again with local anaesthetic!! Dr’s should tell the truth

[@dingdongpoopoo7605]

I love my iud but it was traumatically painful to get inserted four years ago. I have a high pain tolerance and have had period cramps so bad that I've passed out before, but this was another level. I am honestly terrified of getting it replaced next year. Still gonna do it anyway cause its worth it

[@KxNOxUTA]

I'm so sorry! Hope it goes well. Did you ask if there's any options for anethesia? You should not have to suffer needlessly if it can be helped!

I have learnt something about IUD. I had the wrong information for the rest of my life.

[@jewlstah2010]

800 mg of ibuprofen an hour before IUD insertion saved me a lot of pain (at least, I am assuming). Also, I was on my period when I got my IUD inserted and was listening to “Peace Out” by MC yogi. Breathing helps a lot, too.

[@Kenerah22]

That was so painful!!!! I was fine in the beginning but I screamed when they placed it in. I was traumatized. The pain went away after a couple of seconds, but I kept having cramps here and there, cramps that wouldn't go away with medication. I kept going to the ER for them to check it, and it was in place so they didn't know why I was in so much pain. I got it removed because I couldn't do it anymore. My regular OBGYN removed it, and she was shocked that the other doctor placed it in the first place. My cervix is small and that's why I was having pain. Other options of birth control should've been talked about. I was having issues getting pregnant a year later. I go for an x ray test (another painful experience) and found out that the hormones that were released from the IUD attached itself to my tubes. It was easy, quick and painless to remove, but that explained my irregular cycles, being nauseous, and headaches. I highly recommend to stay away from this. I got the birth control in my arm, never had an issue

thank you for the visual! ive been considering getting an IUD for a while now as i know i do not want children and my periods always last 7 to 8 days and its hell for me so an IUD is something i have seriously been considering. this visualization while it did make me go 😬 i know its for the better for me and the uncomfortableness or pain that appears during the insertion however it may feel, is brief

[@PhilospherKing]

Go for it, better than unnecessarily kiling a baby in womb and rationalise it with stoopid mumbo jumbo

[@desertmoonlee6631]

I’m against idea keeping something inside. Women always have to endure pain and men don’t need to take any birth control or anything against their comfort.

[@nidhyajoseph1457]

That's not fair right.. women go through so much and men refuse to even wear a condom. It sucks.

[@iadoreapplehead]

Right, any man who doesn't want to use a condom or, if we get serious, get a vasectomy (bc I don't want kids) can leave. I have periods every fucking month which sucks big time to say the least, and then birth control is solely on me too? I've always had a thing against medicine and pills in general and will only take them if absolutely necessary. I've heard plenty bad stories about birth control pills and how it can mess with women's hormones. And these things.. I'm against them too, surely it can't be healthy to have copper inside you 24/7? I'm risking my health and enduring even more pain so a man doesn't have to wear a condom because it makes the sex less nice for him? Damn that sounds selfish. I hate selfish people.

[@hanirustandi5017]

Even i got my iud twice after my children born, i still feel big uncomfortable when watching about how it get in or when it get out from mu uterus

[@BrooklynSing]

Personally getting the IUD did not hurt for me. I got it for the first time this year and for me i felt a weird wave go through my body but was not painful. Everyones body tolerates things differently though! Was i scared to get it because of other reviews? Totally! But I dont understand why people say they felt violated? Have you had a kid? Someones down there all the time, this is nothing. At least to me 🤷🏻‍♀️ I say dont read up too much on it and just feel calm and confident and i think that will help majorly. But i also had a kid with no pain meds or epidural and felt fine. None of our bodies are the same therefore we all have our own experiences

[@missvegangamer]

I got my first IUD a few years ago and man was that very painful! The cervix must be a very sensitive organ that it packed a punch. Getting a speculum inserted was also unpleasant. I think I got the IUD at a same-day appointment so I wasn’t aware that I need to take an ibuprofen before the procedure. A couple weeks ago I went to replace the IUD. I took ibuprofen an hour before the procedure. And although it was still painful and unpleasant, I can say that it wasn’t as bad as the first. For my first IUD the NP did the procedure very quickly but I felt the sharpest pain that I felt like I needed to wait before driving home. The one from a couple weeks ago……. Man, the NP took a long time. It felt like 10 minutes or more. I can’t imagine the excruciating pain I would be feeling if I didn’t take the ibuprofen. However with the second one, when the NP finished the procedure, I felt like nothing happened. I felt no pain afterwards. I went out and did my grocery shopping afterwards instead of going home. But I also felt bad for the NP because while he was explaining with hand gestures, his hands were shaking like he was traumatized, lol.

Can't we just encourage men to use protection? Why should women be burdened with every damn human suffering and pain possible? It's time men took some responsibility or just stay alone!

[@KxNOxUTA]

We could have long had it but studies were stopped due to side effects that are ... basically what's in our pill side effects list. At least now they're at it again it seems but really, vasectomies exist. And I just wished sterilisations overall were put on the list of things done free with healthcare.

[@carolhutchinson7763]

Have him put a heating pad on his testicles for several hours while he's watching TV or something. The sperm will die. But don't 100% rely on that. Many women get a pain on one side or the other and a discharge when ovulation happens. It's usually in the middle of the month. So don't have sex after the first 3 or 4 days, then when the side pain and/or discharge happen, wait at least 6 days because the egg lives for about 3 days.

[@VictoriouslyCrowned]

I dunno. I have mirena for about 4 years now. Im getting it out. For me the tool is the worst part. I cant stand it juat sitting there. I do not feel the iud at all. I havent had a period in years. Asked my hubby to take mine out. He won't, lol. If i could find the strings myself Id pull it out. I think makes ppl get themselves worked up and the fear makes it worse than it is. Its fast, akward a bit, and then life goes on. Nice video. Thanks.

[@divinemessenger2030]

Even though my insertion experience was complicated (my doctor had to try several times to get my iud inserted) it really wasn’t that bad. The uterine sound they use to measure the depth of your uterus is cold and feels weird but the whole process just felt like really really really bad period cramps. I’m used to that because I have terrible periods anyways. I felt faint afterwards but I was alreayd used to that because I had severe period cramps for years. I would do it all over again if I had to. I love this birth control method and my periods have went away. Definitely try the Mirena if you have heavy periods!!! 💁🏽‍♀️

[@indribudiarti2062]

Inserting wont make any traumatic moment if provider make good assessment before insertion. Greeting and discussion before the procedure make good connection with the client. During insertion, try to talk with her, asking her daily life to distract her from anciety during insertion. In my place, we called it "verbocain". So far, our clients were fine after the procedures without sedation/anesthesia. The better time to performe IUD insertion is when menstrual period happened, since the OUI slightly open, so it wont hurt too much... The bottom line is: humanize the clients.

[@jessebriee3918]

My mother had an IUD in and she ended up pregnant with my older brother Mike. Like an other birth control method. Why is the female's responsibility to be seriously inconvenienced, possibly injured inserting or removal of and IUD, or any other device. Why isn't a device that can be made that men have implanted to strict the flow or neutralize the potency of their sperm? Sure the device can be removed with some bleeding or tearing. Of course. Why hasn't the speculum be created out of softer material such as silicone? Have the problem with the pap smear screen is the cold, metal speculum that is used. If it was being enter into a man it would be different.
