So I went ahead with it anyways (couldn't let $100 to go to waste). Didn't faint, but was in A LOT of pin during insertion (they weren't sure they could put it in even with cervical dilation pills taken a few cours before the procedure) and for the rest of the day. Next two days were manageable with painkillers, then on the fourth day I thought I was going to die. After about three hours of intolerable pain to a point of throwing up I decided to go to emergency, and as soon as I got out of bed, the pain disappeared. Go figure! Ultrasound next day showed IUD was still perfectly in place.
I was in a lot of pain pretty much every evening for the three month afterwards, and any time I did any physical activity like running, doing squats, abs and, of course, undulations. There were a few nights where I told myself I'd call the doctor the next morning to get it removed cause I couldn't take it anymore, but then the morning would come, the pain would subside and I feel bad about wasting $100 again (yes, I'm very cheap when it come to anything other than bellydance items :)

OMG this is exactly my situation, Well it was anyway. I hated my IUD. The lady that did the insertion did a horrible job. Not only was I in pain for about 3 months, but was bleeding too almost the entire time. I paid $415 out of pocket for mine, and to me, it wasnt worth it because I got pregnant anyway after the damn thing got knocked out of place. So, Im not sure if I would recommend IUD. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but now I think it was a waste of my money and the fact I got pregnant doesnt help. SO anyway, Im trying Nuvaring now, and Im having a problem with that staying up there too. Dont know what the hells wrong with me (down there) its like birth control is protesting against me or something.
