Hello, well before i got it fitted 2 days ago, i read your comments and it really helped me to know what REAL women go through, not statistics. So anyway, I'm 18 BTW and like most of you, I was on another form on contraception, the PoP pill, it was terrible, i was almost bleeding constantly, so I decided to get the IUD fitted. I was at the local clinic and they just asked if i was in a monogamus realtionship with no STD from each of us, to which they gave me a date for Oct 1, at 7pm. So I went there, the doctor was really nice, a nurse was in the room and my boyfriend, he explained the procedure and said if I wanted to stop at any time that was fine. So anyway, the procedure was honestly ok, I'd forgotten to take the iprofprofen (Sorry for any spelling mistakes
) but it just felt like a sharp pain and then kinda a bit crampy, but not bad. Then as i was getting back It started to get worse, cramps wise. By the time it was like 10 oclock, i took a tramadol, I know a bit much, but anyway. Then after i fell asleep about 12, and I woke up around 2am and NO PAIN WHATSOEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just wanted to share my experience with anyone who is thinking about having the IUD or has it, or is just curious. Also, my pain could be different to other womens, and all i was thinking is that i'm protected for 10 years or as long as I want, and lets face it 5 hours of pain is nothing in comparison.
Anywany, brilliant decison and NO CHEMICALS, wooooooooo
OHHH and afterwards the doctor went through feeling the strings and no sex for a week without a condom, due to infection, and no tampons for a week. and if at any time i get bad cramps, a high tempertaure and feeling not good kinda thing, the come up there and i'll get it looked at. He then gave me an appointment for 6 weeks time.
