Bad Anxiety After IUD Implantation?
Hello everyone,
So around a week and a half ago, I got an IUD (Mirena) implanted. Now both the doctor and my mom (who’s a nurse and also has Mirena) said that getting the implantation would only be an unbearable cramp. Idk if it’s because I’m a 19 y/o virgin or what, but I almost threw up and passed out from the pain I was experiencing. I had to ask the OBGYN to stop once, took a small break, then we tried again and when I told her to stop, she told me “we’re almost done, you’re doing good” and I was almost in tears at that point. Once the procedure was over, I went out to my car and cried because of pain, but because I also felt violated. I’m lucky a friend was a few minute drive away cause she was the only one who consoled me afterwards. But now every time I get a super bad cramp that lasts for 5-10 minutes, I get flashbacks of having my legs in the stirrups and the poking and jabbing of my inside, which usually makes me start to cry. Idk if something is wrong with me, or maybe I’m in the wrong and I just wasn’t ready for this yet, but I can’t be crying at work and at home every single day because of my flashbacks and the pain I’m in 😔
