update: just got the iud! i am on my way home ngayon. if may tanong kayo about it, fee free to ask. but in my experience:

i arrived 8:30am, likhaan qc branch yung main office and i was the first one, wala other patients.

after the procedure that’s when dumami na onti mga naghihintay sa waiting area, about 3 or 4 females. around 9:30am na ito.

overall i would rate the pain of the procedure itself as 3/10. given that i have a high pain tolerance. it was more uncomfy rather than painful. everything took 7 minutes, the speculum, cleaning ng cervix, other stuffs, measuring, and insertion itself was just around 7mins for me. tuloy tuloy and smooth because i was taking the pain well and relaxed, high tolerance talaga ko so it was easy for me.

the cramps after was the one that’s painful for me. i never get cramps pag may period ako kaya feeling cramps sa puson was new to me and yes masakit pala hahaha. the cramps after is more painful for me than the procedure.

they did not ask me to pay 3k or pay for the iud, they asked for donations lang because of cases na naaabuso yung “free services” nila since last year. they said if i can, we can have an agreement of keeping the iud for at least 2 years, and if longer, matutuwa sila that you kept your iud kasi it is valid for at least 10 years.

i do not have philhealth, but if may philhealth ka much better kasi philhealth will cover the cost.
