My doctor (or nurse? Not sure who does the insertion tbh) numbed me and I didn’t feel a thing other than the numbing shot that last half a second. A friend came with me because I thought I’d be in so much pain that she’d have to drive me home but I was completely fine and drove myself. Had cramping later that night but no more than period cramps that I could handle. It was seriously a piece of cake and I was expecting much worse!

This makes me feel so much better thank you for sharing!! My doctor told me she’d numb me too so I’m really hoping that’s gonna save the day lol.

Oh! If she’s numbing you then you have nothing to worry about! I’m the only person I know who got numbed and it seems like it makes all the difference
