I think the fact that I was a day away from getting my period is the reason getting the IUD hurt so bad. Got it put in, and started my period exactly one day later the day it was due.

This crap hurts, like worse than any period I’ve ever had and that’s saying a lot. I break out in a sweat and see tunnel vision when a cramp hits. My back is radiating with pain and it’s shooting down my legs, i wish so bad that I could get away from this pain but no matter how much ibuprofen or midol or Advil I take, I’m still completely miserable. Is all of this just because I’m adjusting to the IUD?

Even though it hurts so bad, it’s definitely light. I know it sounds stupid but it’s like my body is trying to have a period and the IUD is fighting it.
