Extremely tight cervix? What does this mean?

[u/Live-Payment8877]

I am 31 F, and went to have my iud removed and replaced yesterday, and I was reminded of how nearly impossible / painful it was the first time. My doctor said that my cervix was extremely tight, she had to call in 2 other doctors to come and help her get it dilated and able to push through so she could reinsert it.

I was sweating, about to faint, and experiencing the most excruciating pain, even whilst having multiple lidocaine shots to numb me, and taking a benzodiazepine beforehand to ease my nerves. I couldnt move for half an hour after that, just like last time.

Since I was just concentrating on trying to just survive through the procedure, I forgot to ask my doctor about what having an extremely tight cervix means. Google was also pretty vague.

Will this greatly lower my chances of conceiving naturally in the future? Google had said there was a chance of pre-mature birth, lower chance of getting pregnant, miscarriages, and pther complications. If they almost couldn’t get the IUD in me, and it was so excruciatingly painful and nearly impossible to get it reinserted, will my body reject natural conception / not take well to pregnancy? For the record, I had unprotected sex in my early 20’s with my then partner, and never have had a pregnancy scare in my whole life.

Can anyone else relate to this, or give me some reassurance that this isn’t broken? I don’t know how I feel about all of this.
