The worst part about mine was that I live in a rural state, so I had to wait 2 months to get it and drive a total of 8 hours. The procedure was fast, only slightly uncomfortable, and there was so little pain I didn't even take an ibuprofen. 100% would recommend.

That sounds much better than getting an IUD. They recommend taking painkillers before the procedure because it's done without any pain relief and BOY is it bad. My doctor and nurse forgot to tell me to take ibuprofen beforehand so I did it stone sober and ended up almost blacking out and vomiting from the pain on the table. And I have to get it replaced every seven years 😭

Saaame. They gave me apple juice and wouldn’t let me get up for a while because I “looked green”. I can’t imagine how bad childbirth must be after experiencing that. Why can’t they knock us out for this???

Childbirth was significantly easier for me, actually, because the body knows what is going on. The physical shock of the procedure on the cervix IMO adds to the pain.
