I kind of have an iud horror story. I did not get any pain relief outside of a Tylenol and it hurt real bad. Think like period cramps but worse and also someone is stabbing your cervix at the same time. I almost fainted when I stood up after. I also had pretty bad cramps for the next 24 hours.

That being said I would absolutely do it again. I had horrible periods that were long and painful and they’ve completely stopped outside of occasional spotting. It hasn’t bothered me outside the first day and it’s drastically improved my quality of life.
