[quote=Anonymous]Having mine put in hurt a bit, but nothing too crazy, and the pain was very short-lived. It felt a lot like a couple of mildly intense labor contractions - I gritted my teeth and wished I had someone's hand to squeeze, but then it was over. I have a tilted uterus which apparently made it more difficult to get the IUD positioned correctly, making the whole thing take a bit longer than usual (still only 5 minutes or so) and hurt a bit more. I also was not on my period at the time. All in all though, it was fine -- ten minutes later I was heading home with some very mild cramps the rest of the day. Prior to having it put in, I had given birth twice. Given my experience, I can easily imagine how someone might feel almost nothing, or how someone might experience short but very intense pain. My doctor also left the strings fairly long, but said they could be trimmed at any point if my partner could feel them.[/quote]
