IUD won't go in

I went to go get an IUD put into today but the doctor couldn't get it in because the opening is to small since I've never had kids, sadness. He prescribed something called Cytotec and said to come back in a few weeks to try again. Has anybody else had trouble getting the IUD in? If so did your doctor ever manage to get the IUD in and how?

Thanks for the info, I have not seen much on the drug being prescribed for being able to get an IUD. Hopefully it will work.

So here is for an update. WOHOOO! I got my IUD yesterday. FINALLY!!! The Cytotec worked. I forgot to take the ibprofen before going in, bad mistake! But the doctor gave me a local so insertion was virtually painless. But afterwards the cramps were horrid. I tired to go into work afterward and by the time I got there I went straight to the rest room and puked. Felt like I was running a fever. Went home took some ibprofen, laid down with a heating pad for a few hours, and felt loads better afterwards. I am gettng sick, its been going around the office, so who knows the fever and/or puking could of been from the cold and not the pain. Today I feel fine besides the cold. Anyway just thought I would actually post the update.
