I have been looking at getting a Kyleena IUD, so this video has been very helpful! Getting birth control isn't something that I'm very excited about; I've been putting it off for perhaps too long. I'm hoping one IUD will be a good stop gap for me to save money for a tubal ligation. Thanks for going into a ton of detail. Watching (positive) videos has been a real help in alleviating my fear.

It's so hard because every single person's experience can be so different! Glad I could be a voice in the positive realm for you. Know that you can have a positive experience, and if you don't, it's a fairly easy process to get it out. My suggestion - if you're having a hard time, wait it out for a few months and see if things settle, if not, try something else!

I was told to take 800mg of Ibuprofen 1-2 hours prior. The procedure was unpleasant, but fast and highly tolerable.

I would say mine was about the same. I'm shocked that many are not told to take any pain killers or anything.

@yourperinatalAT I was not told either. I searched and based on my internet research i took a ibuprofen before. My doctor used local anesthesia as well. It was very fast, I had both insertion and pop test at the same time. However, I felt two bad cramps and after the process during the day also had several more. but totally toleratable. Just like a normal period

I have endometriosis and am tired of taking birth control pills non stop, so i decided to use iud. I chose Kyleena because of its smaller size, and l hope it works for me to stop my period as well.

Awe I really hope it works for you as well!! Give it a good chance if the first few months aren't great, I've heard from many that your body adjusting to it can take a few months! 🥰

They used numbing on my cervix but I also took Advil and a sedative before the procedure, I had no idea I was going to have numbing also I was on day 5 of my period so my cervix was partially open, I felt no pain

Out of curiosity, where do you live?? That's so amazing that you got numbing! Now that you say that, I think I also got mine in when I was on my period.

I got my Kyleena IUD yesterday morning and it was so painful… I almost passed out! And I wasn’t told to take anything before. I took 400mg ibuprofen afterwards and still was in pain almost all day 😩 I’m still having cramps, but I am able to do some of my usual activities… I hope it improves in the next days…

Oh no! That's terrible!! I also feel like they don't tell people they can get meds but they'll give them if you know to ask for them 😫 Which province/state are you from?

U were lucky bc I didn’t get anything and I didn’t even know I could have gotten anything, bc it wasn’t offered & I felt like I was going to jump off the lab bed. And my insertion take abt. 5mins. I felt like I was going to faint. THE WORST PAIN/CRAMP. Glad ur process went smooth.

I'm discovering that this is super variable depending on where it's done. Where I live (Ontario), if you ask, they'll give you something. For removal, they recommend to take a couple extra strength ibuprofen and there's a numbing spray they can use for your cervix, but idk if they only do that for people who ask 🤷🏼‍♀️ I wish the standard of care could be the same for everyone!! Where was yours done?

So were you able to lose the 40 pounds you gained initially? I’m worried about weight gain

@yourperinatalAT 10 ай бұрын

I was! But I'll be straight up, it took me a few years to get to the point of consistency to do it, once I got there and my nutrition and hormones were in check, I lost it in about 5 months! I followed my exercise with the phases of my cycle, that's what worked the best for me!
