[quote=Anonymous]I took misoprostol the night before and the morning of. Lets just say that did not help at all! I had a resident do most of the work with the help of a seasoned gynaecologist. The spectrum and the cleaning were fine, but then it came time to measure the depth of my uterus. The resident tried a couple times and then the gynaecologist took over and even she had trouble. I then had my cervix clamped in order to make this process easier. It hurt so badly I almost leapt right off the table and the rest of the procedure was so painful I couldn't hold back some tears and my toes and fists were clenched the entire time. It took another 5-10 minutes or so to get the depth measured and as it further and further up it felt like consecutive jabbing pains to my insides. Honestly, the actually placing of the IUD hurt less than them measuring the depth. As soon as they took the clamp off I was immediately in less pain, but when I first sat I I felt extremely faint and for the next hour and a half or so I thought I was going to throw up. It's been 2 hours since the procedure now and I am feeling a bit better with some mild cramping. I am hoping I won't experience cramps as bad as some have mentioned. I have also never had a child so I understand that in itself can make the procedure more painful. Apparently, the girl before me threw up it was so bad. I am glad I wasn't told that before the procedure! I am hoping it will be worth the 5 years of birth control, but I can honestly say as of today, I don't think I would have it done again. Maybe after I have had a child, but definitely not before. Some woman have felt no pain and I believe them, but for the woman who have felt excruciating pain, don't underestimate what they are telling you. When a woman says it's the most painful thing she has ever experienced it really is and I can attest to that.[/quote]
