[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Getting it out is super easy. It’s less uncomfortable than a Pap smear. I’ve had 3 IUDs over the years and while getting them in wasn’t fun, removal was truly no big deal. [/quote]

Listen, it's different for everybody.

Just because it was nbd for you does NOT mean her DD will have the same experience. [/quote]

No one is disregarding her daughter's experience. They are helping her figure out the percentages behind the risk calculation. OP and her daughter have to figure out what level of risk vs. what level of discomfort they are willing to accept. PPs are telling OP that the discomfort from removal is not nearly as high as placement. From there, they can make their decision. But if they are removing and then placing a new IUD, they may want to take action. People are suggesting anti-anxiety meds as a less risky (an expensive) option than general anesthesia. OBGYNs might not even do general anesthesia in their office and it would have to escalate to a hospital.

OP has to figure out if the goal is "feel no pain" or "not worry and be anxious."[/quote]
