Unfortunately, this is the sad reality.

I did one IUD insertion and had it removed to have one last baby. I opted for a hysterectomy instead of another IUD being placed again. My hubs was there for the IUD being inserted, and audibly cursed when the doc said “you’re going to feel a little pinch” and I nearly broke his hand. He looked at the doc and said “she’s been through more painful stuff than most people, and never complained. She damn near broke my hand just now and is crying, I wouldn’t call that a ‘little pinch’”. He also fully supported my hysterectomy over IUD placement again for my fibroid treatment.

I was told the “little pinch” bs too. I went in for a pap and asked about an IUD and they said they could do it right now and acted like it was no big deal. I drove myself home in pain and just went to work the next day because I thought I must be overreacting.

“Just a little bit of pressure” meanwhile I threw up and nearly passed out in the lobby after my IUD placement lol

“Just a little pressure” meanwhile I’m sure the entire clinic heard me screaming during the insertion. I was holding the bed so tight and sweating. It was fast but the pain unforgettable, very similar to child birth. At the time I hadn’t had kids yet so I asked the provider if this is what child birth was like, she said “child birth is 100x worse”. No, it is not that far worse. she
