So I’m 28 and not ready to have kids yet so I decided to get an iud. It was put in 5 days ago, 2 days before my regular period. Probably not the greatest idea since I get pretty bad cramps to begin with, but it’s done.

First off, the insertion was fairly quick but also was a lot for me for me to handle as I don’t always handle pain well. I wasn’t expecting it to be pleasant and the pain didn’t last forever or at least the intense pain didn’t. I walked out and over all was okay. Had some spotting, was crappy but then I started my period. That was brutal, still is. I’m so bloated and uncomfortable. I’m feeling super crampy and emotional.

It hasn’t stopped me from doing anything I would normally would. I’m still happy I got it done, I just can’t wait for the pain to stop. I don’t always want to take pain meds so I grin and bare the pain most of the time. Hoping third ends quick.

What was your experience like?

I’m super uncomfortable in that picture. Bloated to the tits lol. My uterus is so angry!
