This study aims to evaluate a novel approach to pain control by having women self-insert lidocaine gel into the vagina at least 5 minutes prior to IUD insertion. This will overcome some of the barriers from other studies where there may not have been ample time for the lidocaine to take effect, while at the same time eliminating the need for women to have multiple speculum exams. Although this is a novel approach to administering an anesthetic, we believe women will be interested in any intervention that may potentially alleviate pain during IUD insertion.
