My Iud Experience

I was so glad that everything is done and over and i'm going to have 1o years of contraception with my new paragard iud that's why i'm sharing this to everybody especially those who are thinking of getting one themselves.

I'm 18 years old. I haven't had kids before not have been pregnant and i'm seriously don't want to get pregnant sooner or later. I've tried the pill (ortho-trycyclen lo), the ring, and condoms. My mom is against using birth control and having sex before marriage all together. That's why she make me stop taking the pills and make me stop taking any birth control that is visible. The ring make me have blood clots and other complications. So I decided to have a paragard. Today, after I woke up I already felt nervous. Then at 1:50 p.M. Me and my bf went into planned parenthood. First they talked about the advantages and disadvantages of iud. Then they took a preg test to make sure i'm not preg. Then they assigned me on one of the rooms and asked me to strip from waist down. When the nurse came in she show all the tools and paragard. I was nervous because the nurse told me that since I haven't had kids, the insertion would be "really painful and crampy". It was very crampy and painful because my cervix is very unwelcoming it won't open a bit. She poked me with the long scissors twice which is really painful but the stick would not go in. I was very nervous and in a lot of pain. She went out and call another nurse to help her. They tried doing it again and I felt this heavy cramping and pain in my lower abdomen. I was shaky and tried counting with my fingers so that I will forget the pain. Then they insert the iud it only took a few seconds. It was very crampy. Then after 10 seconds, the nurse told me it's over. I was so glad and happy. After the procedure was done. I'm back to normal. I have a little spotting but no pains, no cramp, no nothing. My boyfriend is very supportive though and caring for me after I stepped of the door.. I was glad it's all over.. ;-)
