I've had both a colposcopy and the IUD. If you can handle the colposcopy, you can handle this. Not happily, but you can. And it's not *that* bad - cramps, remember? Just cramps. To me, pretty heavy ones, but to a normal gal, probably just a bad day.
The string isn't uncomfortable. Just tell them you don't want to cut it. Punctures are a possibility, but not that common. In the US, the doctor inserts the IUD after doing a thorough ultrasound. And another one afterwards. So they *know* the placement. There's a fair amount of research to be done before you take it on, but really... we should be doing that for ANY birth control we go on.
Point being... if you want it, and it makes sense for your life, you should do it. But there's no good in doing it if it really does scare the bejeebus out of you. I'm just trying to let you know that your fears are reasonable, but manageable should you choose it.
