Please stop implying insertion doesn’t hurt! I’ve had two, and it is incredibly painful! Doctors need to stop gaslighting women when it comes to pain. Everyone I know who’s had an IUD has experienced moderate to severe pain on insertion. As a healthcare professional myself, we really need to be transparent and honest with our patients. This video is so informative, but describing the sometimes excruciating pain as ‘crampy’ is patronising and wrong.

My dearest women of a truth the best way is to agree with your husband and you people follow the natural method , by following your safe period. Any artificial thing you put inside of you whether the IUD or the other method had alot of side effects. And God will hold you responsibility on the last day

I really appreciate the detail and diagrams on this. My only issue is the downplaying of pain. It’s so wild because the way it looks it doesn’t make sense why it felt like a demon was coming outside of me while mine was inserted. Worse pain ever and even vomited on the way home. I just wish more videos would address this because it was way more than uncomfy. But regardless I’m so glad we even have videos like this to watch so thank you for making this! I mostly watched it for the removal and I’m glad to see it’s way faster so at least if it hurts as bad it’ll be quicker.

In case it hasn't happened yet: I had mine taken out just the other day. My Gyno told me cough and while doing that she pulled it out. I felt it for like a split second but too short to even really realize what happened 😅 But, to put this into context: I also didn't have much problem with the insertion. It hurt a little, was very crampy but it wasn't a big problem. Taking it out should in any case be less painful than inserting it 😊

This video is really informative, but I wish doctors would change the description to ‘it shouldn’t be too painful FOR MOST, but it can be severe’. I didn’t find it too bad initially, but within 10 minutes I was vomiting and it was the worst pain of my life (and i’ve had a bone marrow harvest from my pelvis..). 7 months on, i’m still struggling with daily pain. On a waiting list to get it removed. Why aren’t we giving women appropriate pain relief before this procedure and managing expectations appropriately?

Could you please make a video addressing pain during procedures? I’ve had two hysteroscopies that were said to be “uncomfortable” which I found so painful it was traumatic. Many of the comments here mention similar experiences with IUDs. It would be super useful to hear why you and other doctors discuss pain being rare or as something that shouldn’t happen when it is not the case for many women.

I had a similar experience. My doctor said I would not have any pain and it was agonizing. Then after the fact it started to come loose about a year later. When they removed it it was just as painful. I found out some drs use local anesthetics but when I asked my dr refused. They were unable to put the second one in and I ended up having to be put to sleep. Very traumatic and extremely painful. I’ve always had terrible cramps where I have even fainted but this was beyond that. I only got the iud because I have an autoimmune condition that causes clots and the Mirena was the only thing approved to help minimize my period bleeding. I was hemorrhaging and needing iron infusions. I feel like this information is extremely misleading.

There was a major step left out this procedural explanation. The tenaculum forceps (which have two hooks) are used to hold the cervix and then used to pry the cervix open in order for the IUD to be inserted. It is beyond my understanding why doctors do not fully explain the procedure, nor do they explain the vasovagal attack that is common in patients, and instead the invasiveness and the potential pain that some women may experience is minimised. Women ought to be offered a local anaesthetic or sedation for IUD insertion. In this day and age, with the medications that we have, there is no reason for women to experience the trauma and pain that could be avoided by taking steps for preventative pain management during such an invasive procedure.

They are quite literally violating you, specifically your informed consent because they’re not telling you about the tenaculum which is what causes the pain, they are stabbing your cervix with what is essentially a butcher hook in a clamp.

I was really scared to get my IUD and I just want to write this for anyone else who feels the same. Mostly I was worried about the pain. Although it differs person to person, my experience was just fine. The speculum and swabbing didn't hurt at all, and the actual insertion didn't hurt either (they were both uncomfortable, but not painful). The sound was the worst part - just a bad cramp, but it was over in 5 seconds, probably less. Just take some pain meds beforehand, and make sure you have a doctor that will be patient with you! Your fear will make it hurt way more than it might, and even if it does hurt, it's so fast! I hope this helps anyone who needs it :)

I've been a user of IUD for about 8 years, with 2 insertions. This method works for me, and the fact that it is a long-lasting method makes the pain worht it, BUT... The very first time was increadibly painful - and I have high pain tolerance. The fact that uterus-owners are expected to endure this pain or that we are said to exaggerate the pain is medical misoginy. No medical profesional on RU-vid talk about the tenaculum placement. The cervix is sensitive and the tenaculum hurts a lot. When I got my IUD replaced, the clinic used local anesthesia on my cervix and I was under a small percentage of Nitrous oxide. This helped incredibly. I was much more relaxed and the pain level went for a 8/10 to a 3/10. People with vaginas should be able to limit the pain of something that can be a traumatic experience. This birthcontrol method works well, but it doesn't mean that we should accept the pain that is associated with it. And also, why on earth are we still piercing though cervix with a tool that hasn't evolved for over 100 years? Isn't there anything better?

@jmonise5003
@jmonise5003 2 года назад
The pain I felt as well was indescribable. After the procedure was done I was so confused that this insertion isn't done with a person medicated (partially sedated). My uterus tilts backwards so it made it difficult for my OBGYN to place it quickly. So she had a US tech come in and do an ultrasound to help guide her. The process was so painful I thought I was going to vomit. The pain subsided as soon as it was done. I was just left with cramps and spotting for about 2 days. After that everything was completely good. So getting the IUD was completely worth it. But am I traumatized? Yes! I am not looking forward to getting it taken out. Hopefully most women do not experience the pain I did. Holy smokes!

I got my copper IUD insert about a week ago and it was horrible. The pain was not a typical cramp (and I've had to deal with horrible cramps in my teenage years before getting on the pill). It was a sharp pain that radiated though my butt and down my legs and i felt lots of pressure in my pelvis. I felt dizzy and nauseous afterwards and experienced terrible cramping after the procedure. My doctor prescribed me painkillers which helped with the cramps after an hour. I apparently have a uterus that tilts towards my butt so I'm not sure if that affects it. My friend who got the same IUD a couple years ago said that it was not that bad for her. I guess it depends on the person.

I’ve had my IUD for almost 2 years now. It was very painful for me too and my cramps lasted almost 9 months after the insertion. But I think most of the pain was attributed to the doctor clamping my cervix open which I suppose isn’t done by all doctors during this procedure. Even though it hurt a bunch, I still think it was worth it and will be getting another one in about 3 years. It has worked out well for me so I don’t want to scare anyone, but I also don’t want anyone walking into a procedure done on such a sensitive and private area without a detailed picture of what it could be like for them. I suggest ibuprofen 30 mins to an hour before the actual insertion because I don’t even wanna think about what it would have been like without it. Stay safe and healthy out there guys!!

Agreed, doctor told me it would be uncomfortable and feel just like cramps. My cramps are painful but bearable. This feeling was Nothing like cramps. It felt more like a sharp stabbing pain in my uterus. I don't mean this to scare anyone but I wish this wasn't downplayed the way it was for me. Saying its slight discomfort, is misleading and generalizing it so that women feel as though only a few people experience pain sets it up so that getting an IUD seems more appealing. All Im saying is that I expressed my concerns and wasn't taken that seriously.

You are not alone, it was extremely painful for me too, I almost passed out getting it inserted.

Well my doc couldn’t find the strings and was not able to get it out, so now I have to pay $1000+ dollars for surgery to have it removed. I will not be doing another IUD, it is too painful and now too expensive to removed, I’ll be switching back to the pill.

Just got mines today. The Mirena. She explained my experience very well. It didn’t take long and she didn’t kid when she said it’ll be uncomfortable and make you crampy. But it does literally feel like menstrual cramps. Something I didn’t hear her mention was that it’s not required but they would like for you to be menstruating. Because that’s when your cervix kinda opens up a little. So right now I don’t notice a difference between before I went in and after🤷🏾‍♀️ but I’m fine also I took medicine before I went in.

Just got mine. If I’m being honest it was incredibly painful, but not in the way I thought. I would say it feels like a period cramp if the pain of the cramp was localized to a single point and that’s what made it painful. The clamping also hurt before the insertion. I don’t have the highest pain tolerance though. For anyone thinking about doing it but is scared of the pain, find you a nice doctor who will take it at YOUR pace and also maybe take someone you trust to hold your hand. It is painful but the pain is only a few minutes. Even with the pain, I don’t regret my decision!

I had my copper IUD inserted today and was very anxious as I had heard some unsettling stories about the pain and I have a very low tolerance. It was honestly so much easier then I thought. Procedure was a bit different then what she explained in the video but it didn’t feel sharp at all, just a strong, dull period cramp, it was over before I realised it! I took an ibuprofen beforehand as recommended and tried to just have a relaxing day without any plans. Am experiencing some moderate cramps now but nothing severe at all. I honestly feel super happy and relieved about having a safe, hormone free form of birth control and could really recommend this! Goes without saying everyone’s experience will differ, also depending on the person who does the procedure… Just hoping this might ease someone’s anxiety :)

CONSIDER TAKING PAIN MEDS BEFORE - JUST IN CASE. I wish my experience only felt like normal period cramps! My copper IUD insertion experience was excruciating. One of my sisters had one inserted a couple years before me and only described normal period cramps. With her description, I only took about an hour and a half off work to have the procedure done. During my own procedure, I began feeling sharp, high-pitched pain, which I guess was when the IUD entered the cervix. This level of pain continued for over half an hour, preventing me from leaving the chair. The level of pain caused nausea and dizziness that continued for around an hour after the insertion. Thankfully, my sweet doctor had a coke and chips brought to me to help. I've had the IUD for a couple years, but my periods are more painful and heavier. Why keep it? Effective birth control. I'm at the point, though, where I'm done with this little heathen. But I dread having it removed.

Okay so quick question, are tenaculums often used in placement? Is it possible to get one placed without the use of one?

Many women experience no discomfort at all. I've had two types, a copper one and a hormonal one, both times I experienced moderate cramping upon insertion. Both removals were completely comfortable. So much depends on your doctor. Did s/he hurt you when s/he did a pap smear? S/he is likely to be equally careless regarding your comfort in IUD placement. Find a provider that doesn't go at their work like they are fighting snakes. It is not supposed to hurt. Gentle, woman centered gynecology is the way to go. Read doctor reviews; ask your friends about their doctors. Because health care doesn't have to hurt to be effective.

If placed incorrectly it can become embedded. We have different ways we can try to remove it in the office especially with using ultrasound. If unable to remove in the office it can always be removed as an outpatient surgery (hysteroscopy)

This was intentionally deceptive and misleading and minimizing. It shouldn't hurt? Well it does for at least 20% of the population. What will you do if it does hurt? Why did you leave out the tenaculum from the demonstration? That is deliberately hiding part of the procedure from what the patient is consenting to.

Very informative! Possible uterus/cervix perforation & infection is what stopped me from getting Mirena. Just my choice:) I wanted to share a little reminder 💗 As women always ask questions that protect your body. You are in control. Don't forget that. This is a great example of practicing self care. For example, why isn't anesthesia or other stronger pain relief offered with these types of invasive procedures? I ask because female patients are very often expected to endure painful/invasive procedures without protest. Yes, our bodies are unique so they are easy to manipulate at times, but they should be treated with dignity and concern. She shouldnt have to "take it" because her body is "strong" or because no incisions were made. The benchmark shouldn't be well she didn't walk away with horrible injuries...because many actually do leave medical settings with trauma. The "at least..." mentality is not healthy or fair to you either. Again, I always ask questions. I hope you will be empowered to do the same!:) (btw...how can men take more responsibility for their bodies & sexual behavior? What other forms of birth control are available for men other than condoms (which directly affect women) & vasectomy?)

Can I just say- the 1st insertion and the removal were the worst pains (1st insertion being the worst). It is not as easy as described. Now mind you, I'm on IUD #2 (going on 7 years now with an IUD) and I can say #1 - for sure take ibuprofen before the 1st insertion (it helps some, but the cramping will still suck ass and last days). #2 - removal is one of the sharpest pains I've ever dealt with. It goes as seen with the video- nothing stops the arms from scraping against what-all as it's being pulled out. I honestly felt it sharp straight through my core up to my heart. It was the weirdest and most painful thing I've ever experienced. I wish I had been told to take something before that procedure as well. Thankfully, 2nd time placement was wayyyy easier. In conclusion though, the IUD is not as easy as it is made out to be. I wish there was a little more perspective amongst pain tolerances. Maybe I'm a little wussy, but man, it can suck ass getting these things initially in place and removing them.

The cramps are also pretty painful. I told her I was hurting and she kept wiggling the speculum around inside with it open... I've never had this doctor as my other one just retired. Say the least never seeing her again.

Just sharing my experience of the pain to add more information to anyone gathering information. I had a friend who described it as "veru uncomfortable and a tiny bit painful", I would say it was more than a tiny bit but not intolerable. My clinic had the option of doing it under sedation but I chose awake because going under comes with a long recovery. The sound felt like an acute period cramp which definitely hurt but was over in 10 seconds. Then the doctor's assistant came over and talked me through the insertion, getting me to focus on breathing, and that was also painful but not as bad (though it might have just felt better because she distracted me). Overall I'd say it was quite unpleasant but brief, so I don't regret doing it awake, I'll have to have a think if I'll choose awake next time though. They told me that the pain level depends on many things, including where you are in your cycle (better if you're on your period, worse if it's just before your period). If sedation is an option wherever you are, definitely consider it. If you want to do it awake, ask your doctor if it's possible to time it to the best time in your cycle :)

As much as I love not getting periods, I wish more doctors would be honest about the pain we can experience, especially if we never had kids. To me its the worse pain I've ever felt. Taking it out and putting it in. Its like severe cramping. I only keep getting it because I dont want kids, and its every 3 years and it stops my period. But its absolute hell for a few minutes. And this is coming from a person whose had 2 pacemakers and 4 heart surgeries.

I haven't had any trouble with IUDs. I've had two 5 year ones. Not consecutive though. I had a tubal ligation at age 35. Later I got my 2nd IUD to control heavy bleeding at age 37 . It worked. I've been having ovarian cysts and IBS-D for the last few years. Had it removed to see if I notice any changes with that as I've read there could be a correlation. I can say, I probably wouldn't have gotten an IUD if I had watched this video because if I saw the tools and how long it is, and how it goes through the cervix, I would freak out. So, I'm glad I didn't see it because I did love having both IUDs and my insertions and removals were only crampy and not that painful. After procedure was done, I never had pain. Good luck everyone.

There are a lot of negative accounts in the comments, which are all valid, but I would like to say it’s not horrible for everyone. I had a painless first insertion of my Skyla, and I was a virgin at the time. My second IUD was a Kyleena and I felt strong cramping for 1 minute but it was very bearable and I will be getting another this year. I take no pain meds. So do not be so scared that you turn away from the ideas of an IUD, but be aware that it’s different for everyone.

I (17) just got my IUD 3 hours ago, I was told that it would be slightly uncomfortable and the cramp wouldn't last very long. They had me come in on my period to provide better lubrication, I'm glad I listened because they didn't give me anything. no numbing cream like I had asked for, no medicine (Tylenol) after like I was promised. I couldn't imagine being off my period getting this. remember the cramp I mentioned? yeah it was definitely like a sharp pinch going in and a consistent cramp for 2ish hours. like someone is holding your uterus in their fist. I lied on the chair for who knows how long after just feeling really dizzy- when I stood up it was uncomfortable to walk, I just held my stomach and waddled out of the office, stopping every 10ft wanting the vomit. I know I only got mine inserted a few hours ago but does anyone else "feel" theirs? like if I flex or go to the bathroom you feel it? you're probably wonder why I didn't just tell my doctor what I felt when I was there. I would have- if she hadnt disappeared after, it wasn't a busy day she couldn't have been with another patient. even the nurse just *poof* gone. my friend had to help me, thank the gods she came along or i'd still be there. I just hoping the pain goes away soon. its not like a "normal" cramp. cramps stop, this continues
