No worries - some doctors have really weird issues about giving IUDs to people who haven't given birth. I think it's some sort of old-fashioned myth that's somehow hung on in some people's minds? So there are all sorts of odd reasons they give to 'back up' their beliefs!

That's something called misoprostol. I didn't have it used on me, so all I know is what I've read over on [livejournal.com profile] iud_divas. I just took ibuprofen and co-codamol (which I think is Tylenol 3, in the USA?) before my insertion. And it did hurt - but for me, it was totally worth it :)

I wasn't having periods or withdrawal bleeds at the time, as I was taking a PoP which had completely stopped my bleeds. But if you are still having periods/withdrawal bleeds from hbc, then while you're bleeding, the cervix will naturally be softer anyway, and that's when most health professionals prefer to do insertions :)
