"Let me start off by saying that this rating is solely based on my insertion experience. After my OBGYN inserted the IUD, I felt nauseous then fainted. Everything was blurry and my arms/fingers went numb. It only lasted 15 minutes but this is called a vasovagal attack where your blood pressure drops due to a neurological shock. Only small percentage experience it, but it can still happen. Some words of advice:

1. Have someone go with you! My husband insisted he come incase my body reacted badly. Thank goodness he did as I was in no shape to drive after 
2. Take ibuprofen 30 min before insertion
3. Schedule appt during your menstrual cycle (more dilated cervix)

I'm better now, just managing the abdomonal pain with ibuprofen and lots of rest"
