My brand-new IUD!

I got it today. It was a different doctor from my last visit, and he didn't want to give me an IUD since I never had kids. But I proved to him I did my homework, and knew 'everything' about IUD...hehe
Now the pain! Pain,what pain? hehe
Well, there was some pain, but I was expecting so much more...The doc was very surprised I didn't 'suffer'. The speculum part was unconfortable, but I tried not to think about it, and sang a the 'Sponge Bob Square Pants' song in my head, so it went smooth.
My vagina had never poked so much, and he was explaining to the nurse what he was doing, so it took more than I wanted it to take.
I'm not bleeding yet. My period this month was weird, just some spotting. But I'm ready for the cramps and heavy bleeding to start! Bring it on!!

....Sorry. I had too many ibuprofen, I'm a little cuckoo right now. ;-)

Congrats on the new IUD, and good for you about doing your homework first. I had that same experience with my doctor. He didn't really want to give me an IUD because I hadn't had children, and kept telling me it was going to hurt while he tried talking me out of it. He finally agreed, and my insertion didn't hurt at all, and he was sure shocked.

You could have some cramping and bleeding for the next few days, but ibuprofen should take care of any cramps you might have.
