It truly wasn’t that bad in my experience! Ask for numbing and you won’t even feel a thing. The worst part of it all is your first period after but that’s not even that bad. You’ve got this and go into it relaxed and ready!

It hurts but with the right practitioner it only lasts a minute. Remember that the pain from that is WAY less than childbirth. You may bleed for 1-2+ weeks after, that’s normal. Good luck! Hydrate, eat and take painkillers before and after

If they offer laughing gas, take it. It hurts but only for a little. You’ll cramp. As someone with really bad period cramps it’s just like one of those so make sure you have a heating pad. Be prepared for bleeding. Personal recommendation to wait until you’re done bleeding to have sex/ use any toys and just be careful your first couple of times. Good luck!! 🙃
