Update: the IUD insertion wasn't bad

For 5 years of pregnancy protection, the IUD insertion wasn't bad.  I took some ibuprofen before I went (not sure if that helped, but they said I could, so I did).  It was very uncomfortable for about 1 minute. 

I had my 6 week check (c-section), pap (I was due), breast exam, and IUD insertion all in about 10 mins.  I just have to go back in a month for them to check the strings.  But, other than that, I'm good for 5 years. 

Oh, and my insurance covered it 100% (the IUD and the insertion).  So, that is awesome.

Re: Update: the IUD insertion wasn't bad

  • YAY! And I'm glad to hear it wasn't bad. I've been considering the copper IUD, and I have no idea if my VBAC is going to work, so in another couple months I may well be on that table trying to have an IUD inserted after a CS. Was it the copper one, or the mirena?

  • Did you do mirena or paraguard... I am still trying to decide.

    I got the Mirena.  I was a bit on the fence, but because it is just progesterone and only delivers the hormone to the uterus I got the Mirena.   The benefit of no or just very light periods was very appealing to me.  The Paraguard (copper) is known to make your periods heavier.  That sounded like a PITA to me. 

    Plus, in 5 years, we still don't want another baby H will get snipped.  We just didn't feel like it was a good idea to make that decision right now with everything going on.

  • Glad to hear it went well!  I had Mirena and plan to get it again- make sure your doctor shows you how to check the strings and don't forget to warn your DH about them too (and then go get them trimmed if needed).  :)
