Question

or woman who has used an iud? how is it? does it hurts when they put it in? how does it feel are there any effects??????

Answer 1

I have one now. It was pretty painful having it inserted, but it wasn't unbearable. If you've had a child before it makes it less painful. I can't feel it at all. Well, I mean I can feel it with my fingers when I check the positioning. My husband has complained that he's felt it quite a few times. It can't be too bad for him, because I've asked him a few times to take me and have it removed and he still hasn't. LOL! Overall, I really don't like it. I seem to have worse cramps during my monthly, more discharge, longer periods, and randomn spotting. I've had it for 5 months now, so it's still possible that my period could stop, but it hasn't yet. I keep it in, because I really could not remember to take my bc pills. So if you have a problem with other types of bc or problems remembering to take bc, then go for it. If not, stick with the pills or something else.

Answer 2

I LOVE MY IUD!!!! I will not lie and say it was not uncomfortable when I had it inserted. I have never had children so it did hurt more but I love it. I spotted for about 3 moths but after that I have had no periods. My parent does feel it at times but it does not bother him. After receiving the IUD I had cramps (like period camps) for about 2-4 weeks and then I was fine. I had to get an the IUD b/c I forgot to take the pill on a regular basis and you save hundreds of dollars a year. There is a program that will pay for your IUD called the Arch foundation. They will provide you with a free IUD (income permitted) but you will have to pay for the insertion. Most doctor office will give a discount rate or do it for free. If you do decide to do this I do advise you to take 800mg of Motrin 20 min before you appointment, and usually the gyno will rx a pill that will loosen your cervix to relieve some of the pain. Now there is a change that you can get an infection but it is very slim.

Answer 3

I got a Mirena IUD last April. I had, had a different type after my daughter was born in 1991 and it wasn't too bad getting it put in. However, this last time was unbearably excrutiatingly painful. Just when I thought I couldn't bear the pain anymore, it got a lot worse!! Afterwards I was given an Advil for the pain. If you get one, my advice is to take a couple of painkillers BEFORE the procedure. I'm glad I had it done now but at the time I was hysterical with pain. By the way, MOST people don't feel it as badly as I did. The doctor was really surprised by my reaction (crying and freaking out).

Answer 4

I have the Mirena IUD.......I love it. I didn't have any pain having it put in some women do have cramping. My husband can not feel it. I haven't had any side effects from it. As an added bonus I no longer have heavy painful periods. You do have spotting off and on for the first few months but it isn't really that bad.

Answer 5

the mariena is better than the copper iud. i have her too many bad things from the cooper like heavy bleeding, cramping, pain from it and so on. the mariena getting inserted felt kinda like a rough papsmear. it is a little uncomfy but hey way less than having a kid. i did have break through bleeding for the first 3 months or so, but now i dont have any.

Answer 6

I have on and love it!!! It did hurt going in but take Advil 20 mins before and that should help a little bit. I don't even know it is there and my husband can't feel it either. I think it is a good the best thing on earth. :)

Answer 7

When I had one put in, I was praying I would die to be relieved of the pain. Afterwards, my husband could feel the iud. I got rid of it quickly.


--this was in 1983. It was the cu7 or somesuch. might have been discontinued.

Answer 8

Mine caused a PID, landed me in the hospital for a week. Yes it hurts putting it in and for weeks afterwards and heavy periods. I got the tubal ligation and I LOVE IT.
