OK, I just (like 1/2 hour ago) had mine inserted and can I just say
OOOOWWW!
That hurt like a motherfucker!
Apparently I have (according to the doctor) a "tiny little cervix." The sounding hurt, the insertion hurt, and when she opened the arms on the thing it must have scraped something because goddamn! that hurt. I apparently "flinched" (felt more like I sprung about 3" off the table) and nearly fainted, and freaked the doc out, because that wasn't supposed to happen - guess it's not supposed to feel like anything when they open the arms. Anyhow. Now it's like one big long nasty cramp that doesn't end. Hoping the pain meds will kick in soon.
But. Now I'm good for 5 years, and with any luck my periods will stop completely. Woohoo!
