birth control
"I just got in a paraguard yesterday so my experience is pretty fresh. I went into my gyno expecting some sort of torture experience thanks to many of the reviews I have read. My advice is to not believe everything you read online. Did the experience hurt some? Sure it was a little uncomfortable, and there was literally TWO SECONDS where I was like OUCH! That's the thing though, it was TWO SECONDS, then the worst was over. My nurse was awesome and let me know exactly what she was doing the entire time, and braced me for some of the more uncomfortable moments. I went in on one of the last days of my period, and also took a pill to soften my cervix the night before. About an hour before the procedure I took 600mg of ibuprofen."
