Did it hurt when you got your IUD put in?

I go in on Monday to get it and just wondering what to expect...

The actual insertion of the IUD did not hurt for me (some slight cramping though), but the use of the speculum was a bit painful - although not as much as it was before I had a baby.

Everyone is different though, I know people who had more pain and discomfort with it than I did.

I had one put in a few years ago, and it was painful. I had taken some Advil before I went and then after I was done. I suggest this! They told me it was less painful for people who have had children before, so maybe that does make a difference.

It wasn't so much a cramping feeling for me, as a pinching kind of sensation.  But it's quick.

I had cramping for a few seconds and that was it. I had totally freaked myself out after reading stories on here, so anything was probably going to be better than what I was expecting.

I didn't think it hurt anymore than a pap smear. I just felt a pinch and it was over.

I'm also getting one put in on monday! I'm planning to take motrin before. My OB said it's much easier to put in when you've just had a baby.

it was a quick cramping sensation....be sure to take tylenol an hour before you go... it was nothing compared to the contractions i had a few months earlier...lol
