[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had two IUD insertions and removals. I pass out each time. It’s embarrassing. It’s not that it is painful. I have a high pain tolerance and given birth three times. It’s just a trigger for me and my body reacts by passing out. The doctor told me some medical term it’s called but I don’t remember what the name was. [/quote]

CNM here- you have had what’s called a vasovagal response, really common response to stressful/painful stimuli. Folks I’ve been putting IUDs in for 18 years and here’s what you all need to understand- for some women it truly is “just a pinch” , for others it is exquisitely painful and traumatic. Both experiences ( and everything in between) are true and valid, many factors contribute to a woman’s experience having it put in. I’m a pretty experienced clinician and can see both experiences in any given day. It’s just so important to have good trusting communication with the provider putting it in( especially for a teen having first pelvic exam). It can be a great option for a teen, but you really want someone who will be checking in during procedure on how they are handling the pain. [/quote]

Thank you.

I wish any woman considering an IUD would listen to you, PP, instead of watching uneducated , one-sided TikToks.[/quote]
