I legitimately have some sort of trauma from my IUD insertion. I have a visceral reaction when anyone talks about me having to get a Pap smear and having to put the speculum in me again

The pain from my IUD was so bad I was throwing up and I ended up having to go to the hospital twice due to dehydration from throwing up so much I also have a tilted uterus, which makes it more difficult and painful to do anything in there

I had my cervix measured to figure out if the IUD would go in and THAT hurt so fucking bad. i can’t imagine actually going thru with the procedure. your feelings are so valid. that shit is torture for so many women. i genuinely think women need anesthesia for IUDs. our healthcare is so barbaric.
