I had an appointment last Tuesday to get the Paraguaud IUD. Well I had a abnormal Pap 3 weeks earlier, differant doctor.My doctor recomended this ob/gyn for iud insertion. I told him about pap so he suggested doing another pap to see if it would be normal now before doing the iud. He pressed so hard on my stomach he left bruises. So now I am worried that if he was that ruff on a pap what would he be like at iud insertion. Ya'll have me scared enough talking about the pain you experianced. I saw what he was going to use before to do the procedure and he did offer me 800mg ibuprofhen but i had already took some before i left the house. And he had some numbing spray to. And I don't really want to have to go have another consult with another doc. and start all over again. The longer i wait the more nervous i get. I am 39, been on the pill since i was 21, have no children and don't want any. Been in 1 relationship for 19 years. Now I have high BP and have to get off the pill but neither me or my husband wants surgery. So this is really my only option. Does anyone have any advice.

Wow you at least got offered a numbing spray I didn't :(
Personally I say go for it and you should avoid added hormones due to BP. With the Ibuprofen you should be fine I wouldn't worry about it. I had 1 600mg and I didn't feel a thing but I would go ahead and take a 800 and the spray. Keep taking ibuprofen for up to 3 days after insertion BC you may cramp and even up to 1 week since you've never had children.

Given your medical history the IUD does seem like the right way to go, abnormal pap is what lead me to Paraguard which I had removed due to frequent periods and very painful periods. I switched to the Mirena IUD and love it, it stopped my periods all together never have pain any more. The Paraguard is a much more stiff IUD and was more painful to put in. The first IUD he numbed my cervix the second I told him just put it in, it was more painful to numb the cervix then to just put it in.
Also given your relationship and desire not to have children maybe you should really think about having your tubes tied. Don't rush to any of these decisions consider putting the appointment off until you have more time to do research or even possible going to a different doctor that is more gentle.

why don't you try the depoprovera shot instead. no periods, no iud, no pregnancy. last up to 3 months i believe. it works great on most women. i heard, but am not sure when, but they are working on a male birth control pill. so in that case, you could take the shot, hopefully within the next couple of years it will hit the market and he can take over the pill from there. i've posted a news headline from cbc regarding this
