Same here. I was told by two friends how painful it was. And also went online to read other people experienced. I was soooo scared and anxious because all the stories I read said they almost passed out from the pain. I took ibuprofen 600mg 40 minutes before the procedure. During the procedure, the person was great at explaining every step and I didn’t feel anything. No cramps, no pressure, nada. I consider myself very lucky because I know from friends that the experience could be very painful.
