I had mirena inserted in early December. Aside from it killing my sex drive by quite a bit I’m scared to have sex because I’m terrified of it hurting. The idea of having a foreign object in my body is already so weird to me. Husband and I have had sex a handful of times since the insertion and most of it has been painless (aside from the time he hit my cervix and holy hell it hurt, this used to happen before getting my iud but it never hurt that bad)

But I’m at the point where even when I want sex I avoid it because I’m so terrified of for some reason or anything it not going as planned and then being in crazy pain.

And I get that this is probably irrational and overreacting and I don’t know what to do.
