can't speak for hormonal IUDs since mine is copper, but holy shit the insertion hurt SO MUCH and the worst part is I HAD NO IDEA IT WOULD HURT AT ALL. First and only time I felt so much pain that I literally thought I was gonna puke and the medical staff was giving me rubbing alcohol to sniff so I wouldn't vomit. I'd still have gotten it knowing that, bc the copper IUD is non-hormonal and im bipolar so I rly dont need the extra mood swings that hormonal bc gives me. I just really wish they had used some kind of local anesthetic, ffs why wouldn't that be the norm, with that level of pain.
Maybe the hormonal ones have less painful insertions than the copper IUD bc they seem to be made out of silicone or something else that is definitely more flexible/able to bend than copper.
Also, the copper IUD gives you longer, heavier, more painful periods. I was told I'd simply get used to it and it would get less pronounced over time, which it hasn't. But as I said, hormonal bc makes me cry for days for literally no reason so I still prefer the physical pain over feeling suicidal for days and days every time I menstruate. Ofc your mileage may vary if your brain isn't defective like mine.

>>267136copper IUD haver here, can confirm its worth it, but no anesthesia was ever even discussed as a possibility. they did give me prescription ibuprofen like 30 min before but yea, most pain ive ever felt.
the good news is that the pain is not prolonged.
felt like i had to use the bathroom after but I in fact did not really have to

>>267135Get Nexplanon, the arm implant instead. Same mechanism, but no one has to shove their fingers up you.
