My first IUD I thought I was gonna die. It was put in by a midwife (idek how that's legal to begin with) and she didn't notice the tilt in my uterus so it fell out. It was so badly misplaced that it didn't hurt being taken out. The second time it was an NP. She saw my back tilt, they didn't prescribe pain meds but because I remembered the pain she was about to start and I had a vasovagal response, almost passed out laying down. I wouldn't wish that pain on anyone.
