Thank you all for your shared experiences. I got an IUD (ParaGuard)inserted today and, while it did hurt (only pain for about 3 seconds) and I have bad cramps right now, it really wasn't that bad. I DID take 800mg of Advil before my appointment, though, so I'm sure that helped.

You do need to be on your period (or just ended) for the insertion - I believe this is so your cervix is more supple/malleable, making the insertion much easier. Good luck and I look forward to hearing more about your experiences!
