But the insertion is more painful than childbirth and there are 0 effective pain relief options. I refuse to get one since ALL obgyns think women don't experience pain during IUD insertion.
My wife just had to have hers out yesterday because it had moved down to her cervix. She's still in excruciating pain, and the doctors didn't take it seriously or give her any pain management options during or after.
There are definitely options, but you will have to ask for what you need. I made it clear to my GP that I was only willing to get an IUD if I could go under general anaesthetic. It made it more expensive because it was considered a serious procedure so I had to go to a private clinic. I could’ve done it at the GP clinic because my GP is qualified, but only with topical pain relief/numbing spray. $350 vs $30. My GP agreed it was the better option because the IUD is helping treat several issues, not just contraception, and so I am more sensitive than the typical patient. I ended up having complications, and had pretty awful pains for three months after until I finally got my period. Two years on, and I’m so glad I did it because now I barely have any period pain or bleeding. I used to be out for one week every month, so it’s a huge improvement.
I had a copper IUD last year and got pregnant three months after getting the IUD and had a miscarriage at 17 weeks and 5 days, so as of right now I am terrified of just thinking about getting an other one
i’m sorry to hear that i have had a copper iud for 5 years now im 27 and have had no issues besides having terrible cramping the first year with my period
With all due respect can you please clarify if you are talking about pRogesterone or not? I listened through several time and just keep hearing “puhgesterone”.
Very simple and clear Thanks❤

Pain medication is definitely available. Talk to you doctor.

And do they have iuds for periods?
Hormonal IUD's stop periods when inserted. Your period will come back once it's taken out.

She said progesterone. Try turning your volume up.
