Thanks JustJess. I had a discussion with my doc a month ago about it, when I decided to do this. I had forgotten to mention to him that I had a tilted uterus, because I didn't realize it might matter.

I decided to go ahead to my appointment anyway, and we discussed my situation. He said it was not a problem, and he just took the position of my uterus into account when he inserted the IUD.

I have an Rx for Motrin 800s, and I took the advice in this thread and took some before going to my appointment.
I have to say, the doc did a masterful job. I've honestly had pap smears that were worse. a couple of seconds of pressure/discomfort, and that was all. Right now I do feel a little crampy, but no worse than normal while I'm on my period.

I guess I am still concerned about infection and other possible problems, but I am hopeful that this will turn out to be a better option for me. This thread has been invaluable to me in helping me make a descision. I'll try and return the favor/contribute by keeping others posted on what kind of experience I have. Thanks again!
