Okay... well, you were right, Sage - they inserted it just fine! He said it was probably all the ibuprofen that was making my cycle so non-existant, and checked for pregnancy just in case (negative, obviously). So I got it, it's mine!
Goddamn, that hurt. If you've ever had a colposcopy, by the by, that does actually hurt more. But it's very comparable to that. Yowza. And yep, I'm pretty crampy just now.
But that's okay. Really!
The only odd thing for me, is when he did some ultrasound to make sure that my IUD was inserted correctly, he found that I have a big cyst on my right ovary. 3cm by 5cm. That thing is almost as big as my ovary itself! He thinks it's "hemagophyte" or something... meaning that when the lil' egg came out at ovulation, it left a gap this time and so it filled with blood - kinda like a blister type of thing. It is often reabsorbed, but not always, so I have to do another more in-depth (literally, I'm sure) sonogram next week. Worst possible case = surgery to remove it. But I'm betting it will be gone by the time I have the sonogram (which he said is entirely possible).
All in all, not a bad day - much better than expected. I'm off to vacuum now...
