Getting an iud on Wednesday. After 1 year + on the nuvaring i was recommended to get the mirena iud. Im 19,im scared but i am hopeful that it will help me with all the pains throughout my cycle and balance me. So Any tips?

Ask your doctor about pain management prior to your appointment

I got it less than a month ago, my doctor did not offer anesthesia of any kind so I got a prescription for muscle relaxant, an anxiolytic (lorazepam) and anti inflammatory medication (not ibuprofen- a stronger one) and I can tell u it didn’t hurt at all, also I had vaginismus for up to 6 months ago ( I got treatment) so u can see it doesn’t need to be painful. Also I got the Kyleena IUD, is a bit smaller and usually used for girls who haven’t had kids yet, not sure if that was one of the factors why it didn’t hurt as well :) good luck on yours!!

Im just really hoping for it to help me with the pain. I am suffering:/ so I hope ill get better. And also sex is easy and i have a long term partner

Yea I don’t feel it right now and in my case is much better than the pill I was taking bc you don’t have to keep track when u took and all of that

Did u have pain before? Like pms/ovulation pain? And obv period pain that make me nor go to work…if so did it help?

I did not the only thing I had was vaginal dryness bc of the pill
