birth control
"I am 30 & have never had kids. My doctor prescribed me misoprostol to be taken before my appointment orally & vaginally. I don't really know if that helped at all, but I was also on day 2 of my period which was ideal. I took 800mg of ibuprofen before the appointment at around 12PM & then I also took 550mg of naproxen sodium an hour before my appointment. My appointment was at 3pm & it was the quickest appointment ever. The initial pinch of the cervix was the painful part which he did first to measure to make sure the paraguard wasn't too big for my uterus. That prepared me for the next pinch and by then I was calmly breathing in & out (think yoga breathing) to relax. 2nd pinch was him inserting the IUD. I felt fine after! Would recommend!"
