I hurt for a day or so. It didn't really hurt going in though just uncomfortable. I was sore again though afterward. I had mine put in at my 6 week post partum check. The PP is right ibuprofen is your friend.

When I had mine put in last September, I was not on a period (it had been several months since I'd had one as I was still basically breastfeeding). There was a couple of moments of discomfort, but it wasn't really bad at all. I've had 4 children, last two were c-section. As already suggested, take the ibuprofen.

Best wishes on a smooth insertion.
