tbh the insertion was pretty painful, it took her three times and a lot of tears. I originally had a student nurse in there that kept trying to talk to me during it, i would suggest asking them to leave, it made my experience a lot worse even tho their trying to learn/help. Then for about 2 weeks I had terrible pain and for my checkup she couldn't find it and I had to get x rays and an ultrasound to make sure it was still there. Everything is fine now, but it was definitely a very stressful 1/2
month. Although I am quite uncomfortable with my private parts in general, so the position they put you in is not exactly comforting either for a stranger to see. Some doctors forget that they may do that all day but the patient won't always be comfortable. But my experience is very rare, I wouldn't worry to much and you know your pain tolerances and vulnerability which mostly determines your experience. 2/3
In the middle of the insertion she was asking how my day was, if i have a boyfriend, etc just random chit chat when I made it very clear I was uncomfortable with the whole situation. I know it was to help calm me down but I tried to make it clear she was making it worse and she just didn't listen. I don't blame her, but in my case it made it worse to have someone inexperienced who also had to be told instructions multiple times.
omg lol wait i forgot u already said u had no spotting😭😭one last thing tho i promise- would u describe the pain from the insertion as like stabbing and excrutiating or a really bad period cramp? (if u knew what period cramps were like bc u did say u had little to no cramps for periods)
It's been awhile so i might be remembering wrong, but i believe it was more stabbing. Almost like they were trying to just shove it in and it wouldn't fit 😭. That's why it's important to be relaxed it makes that part a lot easier. You don't really feel it like a cramp during the insertion. I think it was more stabbing in that area, and a more painful version of taking a tampon out dry
