ladymsruby - Had you been previously pregnant when you got your IUD? The doctor at planned parenthood, where I had mine inserted, nearly refused to insert mine when she read in my chart that I had never been pregnant. This was also the excuse [for dr's not giving me an IUD] I had heard during the previous 10 years I was trying to get an IUD and couldn't get anyone to even consider giving me one.
My insertion was perfectly simple. One try and it went in. The worst part was the clamp on my uterus. Until I got home... then it was hell for about 12 hours.
Also, let me confirm that cramps on paraguard can ****ing suck. But they are usually pretty manageable now.
I used to defend an abortion clinic. Thank you for working in one!
