Well, it's in there. The procedure went without a hitch, but man, it hurt like hell. I presume this is because my cervix and uterus had never been breeched in any way before. It's still cramping, and I slept like shit last night because I kept getting woken up by my cramps (this is totally normal for my menstrual cramps when they're bad, so I'm not surprised). The degree of pain after due to cramps, and the amount of cramps (although they are decreasing, thank God) caught me by surprise. Normally my menstrual cramps come in waves--these did not, but now they are. At the very least, it's less of a "sliced-with-a-dull-hot-knife" and more of a "your-uterus-is-pissed" kind of cramp. And it hasn't hurt so bad that I've felt the need to vomit, so that's a plus. I have some very mild spotting, but that's it.
I just want these cramps to go away so I can start enjoying my new IUD!
