Getting IUD When Not on Period

Hey ladies! I’ve tried calling Planned Parenthood during each of my last 3 periods trying to get the IUD because so many people recommend getting it while you’re on your period. Every time, they give me a date that is a week after my period. Because I am anxious to switch from the pill to the IUD, I went ahead and scheduled my appointment for the week after my period. I was hoping you guys could tell me if you think it hurt more to get inserted when you weren’t on your period, and how to get through the short little procedure. Thanks!!
