MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE!

So i drove myself to my obgyn and payed and got ready and stuff. So i was sitting in the chair thing with my bottoms off, on my period, and waiting. i wasnt nervous or anything. So my gyna came in and the assistant came in too we got ready and started the insertion.

We couldnt go through with it the first try because i jerked back because of how suprisingly painful it was... so we decided to give my cervix a numb shot. After that we tried again. My gyna kept telling me to breathe.. take deep breathes... i was like “okay” and i took deep breathes.. then BOOM darkness. I PASSED OUT 😆... this wasnt a laughing matter then because i wanted to cry.. but yeah. I woke up to the feeling of something strong in my nostril or mouth.. and my gyna was down there “You passed out!” and the assistant came over closer to me to keep eyes on me and we proceeded. After we were done i had to lay there slightly upside down to get my blood flowing back to my head. The cramping was bad and i started to feel nauseous. I dont think i wouldve felt that much pain or nausea if i actually ate a full breakfast before i took the Ibuprofen. i just had a cup of Activia yogurt 🤧. So i rested a bit. changed into my shorts and sat in the lobby for a bit. The assistant gave me water, she was really helpful. after i felt alright to drive i drove of. The End. 🙂 So yeah... i couldve ate a proper breakfast, probably took a high mg dose of ibuprofen too to avoid all the bad stuff. But other then that i feel fine right now, and im glad i got it done 😁. (Liletta IUD)
