IUDs are a popular alternative birth control method, with manywomen even ditching the pill for IUDS.
There are two different types of IUD: The hormonal IUD and the copper IUD.
Both of these options act as effective birth control.

Once inserted, IUDs can stay in for up to 10 years depending on the key in.
Next, a speculum will be inserted into your vagina by your nurse or doctor.
Finally, the IUD itself will be placed inside your uterus using a specially-made tool.

This medication should be taken approximately an hour before the appointment.
It could also help to calm your anxiety about the possible pain during insertion.
You should also bring a sanitary towel for any spotting.

Moreover, slight discomfort and cramping are also nothing to be concerned about.
However, you should not be in intense pain at any point during or after your IUD insertion.
