Wondering if getting the IUD placed hurt
| Thu, 10-14-2004 - 4:51pm |
I am getting an IUD in, I have had a child. Does it hurt? Should I have someone drive me home?

In my case, it didn't hurt when I got mine, and I haven't had a child. The insertion was easy. I had been worried about pain and my husband drove me to the appointment. As it turned out, I would have been fine driving myself home, but you never know. Some women have it harder, and it's even possible to feel a little faint during insertion.
My fiancee was supposed to take but now can't. I'm not going back to work but what about the following days afterwards.
I was thinking I would be feeling back to normal by now, but still "tender" and crampy. From the other posts, it looks like it could be a few months before back to normal.
Good luck!
