Anyone have or had an IUD??

Kristen • 29.NY. Nursing student. In love with my best friend. 🌻❤️
I'm getting the IUD put in tomorrow morning and I'm scared. I am terrible at remembering to take a pill so my friend told me to get the IUD and she said its so worth it but it hurts like hell to be inserted. I'm already going to be very uncomfortable because they have to do it while I'm on my period. Any tips for me!?
